New Delhi, December 8: AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday thanked the people of Gujarat for helping his party breach the BJP's Gujarat "fortress", and hoped to win the state in next assembly elections.

In a video message, Kejriwal said though the AAP has not won many seats in Gujarat the votes it got helped it attain the national party status. "I am thankful to the people of Gujarat for helping us attain the status of national party. Very few parties enjoy the status and now we are one of them. Ours is only a 10-year-old party," he said. Also Read | Gujarat Assembly Election Results 2022: Amit Shah Says Gujarat Rejected Those Who Engage in Politics of Empty Promises and Appeasement.
