TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Motivating disheartened AAP workers after the party’s crushing defeat in the Lok Sabha polls, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has asked them to humbly accept people’s verdict and concentrate on the assembly elections slated for next year.
Kejriwal, addressing party workers in west Delhi’s Punjabi Bagh, said anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare told him that “when one comes into politics or public life, one should have the ability to endure humiliation”.”We have to bear humiliation at times and I am proud of my workers for humbly accepting that insult,” he said.
“Now, you go to the people of Delhi and tell them that the big election has ended and small elections are going to come, and in these elections, cast your vote on the basis of ‘kaam’ (work) and not ‘naam’ (name),” he said. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) lost on all seven Lok Sabha seats in the national capital by huge margins of votes. Kejriwal said the party has not deviated from its principles of honesty and hard work which is its biggest strength.
