Delhi polls: Time to go back to drawing board, says Kejriwal

New Delhi, Apr 29 (IBNS): Following a rout in the recently concluded Delhi Municipality polls, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said it's time for him to go back to the proverbial 'drawing board'.

Acknowledging his mistake, Kejriwal posted his statement on Twitter.

"In the last 2 days, I spoke to many volunteers and voters," his statement read.

"The reality is obvious. We made mistakes, but we will introspect and course correct," it added.

"Time to go back to the drawing board. To not evolve would be silly," Kejriwal wrote.

"We owe that to voters n volunteers. Need is action and not excuse. Time to get back to work," the statement read.

Acknowledging that the only thing constant is change, the Delhi Chief Minister said that the public deserves nothing less.

"And even if we slip from time to time, the key is to find the reserves to hold and pull ourselves up. The people deserve nothing less. The only thing constant is change. Jai Hind," the statement concluded.

The Bharatiya Janata Party swept Delhi’s civic polls on Wednesday, bagging an unprecedented 181 of the 270 municipal wards.

AAP managed to win a dismal 48 seats.

The Congress took third position with 30 seats.

The BJP’s victory margin is the highest ever in Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls.

The Delhi-based party had also bit dust in the recently held Assembly elections in Punjab and Goa that shattered its dreams for expansion beyond the national capital.
