Arvind Kejriwal says he's 'disappointed and will introspect', thanks volunteers

NEW DELHI: AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said he's "disappointed and will introspect" about AAP's poor performance in Punjab, where the Congress has won the state with at least 59 seats. AAP is leading in a mere 22 seats.

The Delhi CM also said he accepts the people's verdict and thanks all AAP's workers. "The struggle is on," he tweeted.




AAP leader Kumar Vishwas waxed poetic about the loss in Punjab and the poor showing in Goa. The party has not yet won a seat in Goa and even its chief ministerial candidate Elvis Gomes is trailing. An approximate translation of a Hindi poem he tweeted goes as follows:

"This loss is just a pause,
life is a struggle,
in victory and in loss,
there's no trouble
On the path of thorns
We are correct, they, too, are reliable"





Vishwas, too, thanked AAP volunteers for "fighting a good fight" and congratulated the Congress for winning Punjab. He also congratulated the BJP, which is neck and neck with the Congress in Goa and which has swept Uttar Pradesh.
