FollowThe Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), ecstatic at its overwhelming win in Punjab, took a swipe at opponents who had written off party leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in his early political career. However, today, the AAP is set to win 92 seats in Punjab and hold a majority in the 117-member assembly. The incumbent Congress will possibly settle for distant second with 18 seats
Sharing a video on Twitter with #AAPSweepsPunjab, the AAP said: "They tried to bury us.. They didn't know we were seeds!" The video has snips of the interview from 2014 where Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that if Kejriwal continues to be in politics, he would be open for debate. The video has Congress' leader and former Delhi CM late Sheila Dikshit, who is heard saying: "Arvind Kejriwal ki baat mat kijie, woh ek kahani thi; jo khatam hogayi".
