"In 2019 Lok Sabha elections the people of Delhi rejected the politics of lies. The pessimist politics done by the negative minded leaders of Delhi have been rejected. In the Vidhan Sabha (Assembly) polls people are determined to form a strong government of the BJP for the development of Delhi," Tiwari had said.

With a massive surge of vote percentage in favour of the BJP and the Congress ending at the second spot, the results are likely to be a cause of concern for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal led-AAP. 

While Congress veterans Dikshit, Lovely, JP Agarwal, Mahabal Mishra and Ajay Maken came second, boxer-turned-politician Vijender Singh lost his deposit and was a distant third on the South Delhi seat.
