Speaking to ANI, Puri stated, "They (AAP) tried to fool the people of Delhi for 10 years and did not even give the people what they could have given. AAP will disintegrate in its current form because the control is with Kejriwal. You ask Atishi, how much freedom to make decisions she has."
"After almost 27 years, the people of Delhi have given their trust and blessings to BJP. For this, I express my gratitude to the people of Delhi," he posted on X.
"I thank the people of RK Puram, party workers and PM Modi in whose name we fought the election. I have won with a margin of 14,500 votes after the final round of counting," Sharma told ANI.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi won from the Kalkaji assembly seat, defeating BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri. She thanked the voters for reposing faith in her but said, "it's not a time to celebrate but continue the war against the BJP" which is poised to form the next government in the national capital.
"It was very obvious from all the meetings that people wanted change. They voted for change. My congratulations to those who won. For the rest of us it just means that we have to work harder, stay on the ground and be responsive to the peoples' issues," said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
After trends projected BJP's win in the Delhi assembly elections, BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Saturday stated that Delhi's residents have spoken with their votes against AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal's unkept promises and corruption.
The former Chief Minister also highlighted the work done by AAP in the field of health, education, and infrastructure over the past decade, reaffirming that his party would play a "constructive role" in opposition while serving the people.
Sirsa also represented the constituency in the 2017 Delhi by-elections. However, in the 2020 Delhi Assembly polls, Manjinder Sirsa lost Rajouri Garden seat to AAP's same candidate, Chandela.
Maliwal's remarks are a veiled reference to the assault case, wherein she alleged AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal's personal aide, Bibhav Kumar of 'assaulting' her at the then CM's residence.
