"Some people say Kejriwal is giving everything for free. Nature has ensured every valuable thing in the world is free, be it Mother's love, father's blessings or Shravan Kumar's dedication. So, Kejriwal loves his people and hence this love is free," says Arvind Kejriwal.

"AAP's victory is not his but that of every mother, sister, youth, students. "This is the victory of every family,"said Arvind Kejriwal.

"A lot of politics happened in elections. Some parties said something. Whatever our opponents said about us, I have forgiven them," he said.
He said he will work with the Centre to make Delhi the world's best city.
"Elections are over, it doesn't matter who you voted for, now all Delhiites are my family. I will work for everyone, be it from any party, any religion, caste or strata of society," says Kejriwal.
"This is not my win, this is the victory of every Delhiite, of every family. In the last 5 years, our only effort has been to bring happiness and relief to every Delhiite," says Arvind Kejriwal
