Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today refused to comment on the Delhi poll verdict, which saw the Aam Aadmi Party registering a landslide win and and streamrolling BJP, leaving it with only three seats.
"I was not given the responsibility of the Delhi poll campaign. Those who were given the responsibility will react to it," Parrikar said, responding to a question in Panaji where he is campaigning for the party.
The minister refused to entertain any questions.
Talking to a local television news channel, Parrikar who was in Goa for the entire day, said that the Delhi poll result is the "people's verdict" and he had nothing to say about it.
"I was not involved in Delhi campaigning. So I will not be able to comment," he told a television news channel.
