Delhi has voted decade-old 'AAP-da' out: PM Modi after BJP won assembly elections -Top quotes

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the voters have thrown the AAP-da (Aam Aadmi Party) out of Delhi politics.
"Today's victory is historic. This is not an ordinary victory. The people of Delhi have driven out 'AAP-da'. Delhi has been freed from the 'AAP-da'," PM Modi said.
Bharatiya Janata Party defeated the Aam Aadmi Party by 25 seats in the Delhi assembly elections after 27 years. According to the Election Commission of India, BJP won 47 seats while AAP was restricted to 22. And Congress is just a mere audience in this election.
After 27 years of drought in Delhi politics, the BJP is making a coming back. While AAP, who was in the politics for the past 10, received a major shock.
Here are the top quotes of PM Modi:

"I thank the people of Delhi. Delhi has given us love wholeheartedly and I once again assure the people that we will return you double the love in the form of development..."
"Today's victory is historic. This is not an ordinary victory. The people of Delhi have driven out 'AAP-da'. Delhi has been freed from the 'AAP-da'. The mandate of Delhi is clear. Today, development, vision and trust have won in Delhi. Today, ostentation, anarchy, arrogance and the 'AAP-da' that had engulfed Delhi have been defeated. I congratulate every BJP worker and all of you for this victory."
"Today the people of Delhi have made it clear that the real owner of Delhi is only and only the people of Delhi.Those who were proud of being the owner of Delhi, were confronted with the truth.It is also clear from this mandate of Delhi that there is no place for shortcuts, lies and deceit in politics."
"Our Delhi is not just a city, it is a mini India. Delhi lives the idea of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat'...Wherever I went in this election, I used to say with pride that I am an MP from Purvanchal. The people of Purvanchal gave love, trust, new energy, new strength. Therefore, as an MP from Purvanchal, I especially thank the people of Purvanchal."
"'Aaj desh tushtikaran nahi BJP ki santushtikaran ki policy ko chun raha hai' (Today India selects BJP's satisfactory policy not appeasement)...Today, along with Delhi, the BJP has got victory in Ayodhya's Milkipur. Every section has voted for the BJP in large numbers.
"The blessings of Nari Shakti is our biggest defence shield and today once again Nari Shakti has blessed us in Delhi. Be it Odisha, Maharashtra or Haryana, we have fulfilled every promise made to the Nari Shakti in every state...For the first time after independence, the BJP has come to power in every state of Delhi NCR...Rajasthan, UP, Haryana, there are BJP governments in every neighbouring state."
"Wherever NDA has received the mandate, we have taken that state to new heights of development and that is why BJP is continuously winning. People are electing our governments for the second and third time... In the North-East, our governments have connected the people with a new stream of development. There was a time when there was a huge water crisis in Gujarat, farming was difficult, but today the same Gujarat has emerged as an agriculture powerhouse. Remember the condition of Bihar before Nitish ji. Nitish ji got an opportunity in Bihar, change also came only when the NDA government came. Similarly, Chandrababu Naidu has proved his track record in Andhra Pradesh. All these examples show that NDA means guarantee of development, NDA means guarantee of good governance."
"I guarantee that the CAG report will be presented in the first assembly session, whoever has looted will have to return it."
"These people of 'AAP-da' came into politics by saying that we will change politics, but these people turned out to be completely dishonest. Today I was listening to the statement of Anna Hazare ji. Anna Hazare ji has been bearing the pain of the misdeeds of these people for a long time. Today he too must have got relief from that pain. The party born out of the movement against corruption got involved in corruption. It became such a party of the country whose Chief Minister and Ministers went to jail on corruption charges. Those who used to give themselves certificates of honesty, turned out to be corrupt. This was a big betrayal with Delhi. The liquor scam defamed Delhi. The scams in schools and hospitals troubled the poorest of the poor and on top of that, their arrogance was so much that when the world was dealing with Corona, these people were building 'Sheesh Mahal'..."
