"This is a victory for the people and a big defeat for the arrogant and those who are doing political vendetta and spreading hate among people," she said in a tweet.

Expressing happiness over the results, she sid: "My congratulations to all the Delhi voters, AAP workers and leaders for the big victory. Well done to you. All my best wishes. We are very happy."

"The Delhi election is a turning point (in the) present political situation. Shows political vendetta has no place in democracy. The country needed this change."
