Many many congratulations to the workers of Aam Aadmi Party and all the countrymen. Your Aam Aadmi Party has now become a national party. The people of Gujarat have made Aam Aadmi Party a national party. The number of votes that Aam Aadmi Party has got from Gujarat has legally made Aam Aadmi Party a national party, said Kejriwal.

He added that the AAP was established as a small party just ten years ago and now the party has governments in two states and has become a national party. "I will be forever grateful to you for the love I got from the people of Gujarat every time I went to Gujarat during the elections, I learned a lot from Gujarat", he said. Gujarat Assembly Election Result 2022: CM Basavaraj Bommai Says ‘State Vidhan Sabha Polls Result Will Have Positive Effect on BJP’s Prospects in Karnataka’.

About his campaign strategy in Gujarat, Kejriwal said that we ran a positive campaign and never used foul language, did not speak against anyone. We said that we have done this work in Delhi and Punjab and if we get a chance in Gujarat, we will do similar work. This is what separates us from other parties.

"In the last 75 years, the politics of caste, religion, abusing and fighting has been going on. For the first time a party has come, which talks about the issues of the people of the country, talks about making the country number one, schools, hospitals, electricity, water and roads to take the country forward. We have to do positive politics only. We are decent, honest and patriotic people. We have to maintain this identity in future as well. Many congratulations and thanks to all those workers of Gujarat who worked hard day and night", he told the party workers.
