After the Bharatiya Janata Party is projected to cross majority mark the Delhi assembly election results, as per the early trends, party Delhi chief Virendra Sachdeva said on Saturday that double-engine government will be formed in the national capital under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
He also took a dig at Aam Aadmi Party and said that if you are "dishonest" with the people, then they will give a similar kind of answer. "If you are dishonest with the public, then the public will give a similar result. Under the leadership of PM Modi, double-engine government will be formed in Delhi," Sachdeva said. The Bharatiya Janata Party has crossed the majority mark in the Delhi assembly election results, as per the early trends from the Election Commission. BJP supporters were seen celebrating party's gain. The BJP is currently leading on 41 seats while the AAP is ahead on 28 seats. The majority mark to form the government in the national capital is 36. AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal is leading from the New Delhi seat by a vote margin of 343. AAP candidate and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj is trailing to BJP's Shikha Roy on Greater Kailash seat by 2583 votes. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi is trailing to BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri on Kalkaji seat by a vote margin of 1342 votes.
