TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal thanked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers and voters of Bawana for the party’s landslide win in the Bawana bypoll, results of which was announced on Monday.

“Thanks and congratulations to the people of Bawana for approving the clean politics and work Aam Aadmi Party has been doing for the past two and half years,” the Delhi Chief Minister tweeted.

Addressing party workers on Monday evening, Kejriwal said that the win sends a strong message that people are still with AAP like they were when they gave 67 out of 70 seats to AAP in assembly elections.

“People of Bawana showed that people are with the work we have done for the past two and half years,” he added.The Chief Minister said that the victory sends another message that even though the Bhartiya Janata Party has pulled down governments in many states, its tactics won’t work in Delhi.

“BJP tried to buy many of our MLAs and contacted many, but got only one traitor,” Kejriwal said, referring to Ved Prakash, who quit AAP and fought the bypoll as a BJP candidate. “The third message the results send is this: If you have courage win elections with VVPAT,” he said, challenging the BJP.
