Bhopal: Arvind Kejriwal is a unique example of a political leader's fall from grace due to corruption and ending up as "zero from hero", BJP leader Uma Bharti said on Saturday.
Bharti hailed the BJP's impressive victory in Delhi Assembly Polls where the saffron surge dethroned the Kejriwal-led AAP from power.
After getting a majority in the 70-member Delhi Assembly, the BJP is set to form the party's government after more than 26 years.
Bharti congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP leaders, and the party workers for the Delhi win.
"Kejriwal is such an example in Indian politics that he became a hero of the people of Delhi while fighting against corruption. But in the end, he got involved in the same corruption and was reduced to zero by the people of Delhi," Bharti tweeted on X.
AAP national convenor and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal faced a setback, losing the high-profile New Delhi seat to BJP's Parvesh Verma by a margin of 4,089 votes.
