NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha MP
Swati Maliwal
on Sunday reacted to
AAP
leader Atishi celebrating her poll win against
Ramesh Bidhuri
from Kalkaji seat, calling it "shameless". This came after top AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, Saurabh Bharadwaj among others lost Delhi assembly elections to their BJP counterparts.
"What kind of shameless display is this? The party has lost, all the top leaders have been defeated, and yet Atishi Marlena is celebrating like this??" she said in a post on X.
Talking to ANI, she added, "Atishi should be ashamed. Her party has suffered a huge defeat... All their main leaders have lost. Yet, she did a roadshow to celebrate her win and even danced during it... What is she celebrating? Her party's loss?..."
Conceding her party's defeat on Saturday, Atishi said, “I thank the people of Kalkaji for showing trust in me. We accept the people’s mandate. I have won, but it’s not a time to celebrate—our ‘war’ against the BJP continues.”
BJP returned to power in the national capital after 27 years, winning on 48 seats, while AAP emerged as the main opposition party with 22 seats. Congress was left with zilch.
