"I will be people's chief minister," said Arvind Kerjiwal speaking to NDTV.

 

He told the channel that his job will be to end bribery first. 

 

He said he would be the chief minister of even those who did not vote for AAP.

 

Counting of votes in the Delhi Assembly polls progressed on Tuesday  as Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is heading for an absolute majority as per the trends while BJP is trailing much behind in the second spot and Congress appeared to have been decimated. 

 

AAP is leading in 57 seats while the Bharatiya Janata Party is ahead in 12 seats. AAP said it might bag anything between 50 and 57 seats as celebrations already began in their camps.

The Congress is leading in three seats.

A BJP spokesperson on TV said the victory is a referendum on Arvind Kejriwal and they must have done something remarkable in their 49 days in power and communicated well with the people. 

 

In the morning Arvind Kejriwal tweeted: "All the very best Delhiites. Do pray. Prayers are very powerful."
