Talking to reporters in Maharashtra's Pune, CM Fadnavis said, "I am happy that after a gap of 27 years, the BJP has been re-elected in Delhi. People of Delhi proved that they won't tolerate politics of falsehood. They voted for the BJP by keeping faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modiji's vision," according to the PTI.
"Arvind Kejriwal is an icon of corruption, but people in Delhi decided to support Modiji. Even Marathi people residing in Delhi voted for Modiji," he said.

"It has already been witnessed in Maharashtra, Haryana and now in Delhi and this will continue to work," the CM added.
