New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and social-activist Anna Hazare today congratulated Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on trends projecting his party's landslide victory in the Delhi Assembly election.
Modi personally called up Kejriwal to congratulate him for his party's spectacular performance and assured him of Centre's full support to the AAP government.
“Spoke to @ArvindKejriwal & congratulated him on the win. Assured him Centre's complete support in the development of Delhi,” Modi said in a twitter post.
Whereas Anna said, “Arvind Kejriwal is going to become Chief Minister. My best wishes to him.”
When asked about results as reflection of the Narendra Modi government's performance, he said, “There was no Modi wave and still there is no such wave. Whatever he has assured, his government failed to fulfil in nine months.”
