The Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal has directed AAP candidates who lost in the Delhi Assembly elections to stay connected with the people, address their concerns, and continue public service. Senior leader Manish Sisodia stated that Arvind Kejriwal met with AAP candidates who lost, and highlighted the challenges of an unfair electoral environment but praised the candidates for their perseverance. Manish Sisodia added that their experience will be utilized for the party’s expansion beyond Delhi, reaffirming AAP’s commitment to serving the public and holding the government accountable.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Senior leader Manish Sisodia spoke to the media and said that today, Arvind Kejriwal met with AAP candidates who contested the Delhi Assembly elections but were not successful. He said, “Arvind Kejriwal encouraged them, acknowledging their strong efforts in the elections.”
He added, “Despite an electoral environment where government machinery, money, and liquor were openly misused, and election rules were blatantly violated, these candidates remained steadfast and fought courageously.”
Manish Sisodia highlighted that during the discussion, Arvind Kejriwal stressed the importance of AAP candidates continuing their public service, regardless of the election outcome. He stated, “Even though BJP candidates have won, AAP’s candidates must stay connected with the people, address their concerns, and ensure that public service remains a priority.”
He further added, “Their experience will also play a crucial role in the party’s expansion across the country, with responsibilities extending beyond Delhi.”
When asked whether the election results were reviewed and what key factors influenced the outcome, Manish Sisodia responded, “Reviews and discussions will continue, as multiple factors contributed to the results. However, contesting an election in such an unfair environment—where money, liquor, and even household goods like sarees were openly distributed, and state machinery was misused—was no easy task. Despite these challenges, our candidates fought well.”
He added that while they may not have won, Arvind Kejriwal has directed all AAP candidates who lost to remain engaged with the people, address their concerns, and continue their public service.
Manish Sisodia concluded by stating, “Since millions of people supported them, they must uphold their commitment to the public—whether in Delhi or across the country—by contributing to the party’s larger mission.”
