New Delhi: Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray has expressed his keenness to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Delhi's CM-designate Arvind Kejriwal, if lthe AAP chief invites him for the same.
Thackeray also described Kejriwal's unprecedented victory as a ‘tsunami', which was bigger than any ‘Modi wave'.
Meanwhile, an editorial published in party mouthpiece Saamna, today said that the BJP has been turned into ‘dirt' by the broom-wielding AAP. The editorial also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the poor show of the party.
The article also endorsed social-activist Anna Hazare's statement that the BJP's poor showing in Delhi was Modi's defeat.
“Elections are not merely won on the back of speeches and poll promises. This election has brought to the fore unrest within the party. Amit Shah failed to cast his magic on people and using Modi as the final weapon too failed to yield results," Saamna editorial reads.
Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) yesterday decimated the BJP and the Congress by recorded a landslide victory, securing 67 of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections. The BJP managed to bag only 3 seats.
Kejriwal will take oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on February 14, exactly a year after he had resigned from the top post last year after he failed to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill.
The AAP chief is also schedule to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow when he will formally invite latter for his swearing-in ceremony at Ramlila Maidan.
