<p>After defeating the President’s daughter from the Greater Kailash seat, the AAP’s winning candidate Saurabh Bhardwaj said it was a wrong political move for Sharmistha Mukherjee to join politics now.<br /><br /></p>.<p>“It was a wrong political decision for Sharmistha to enter politics at this point,” said Bhardwaj, speaking to reporters after his victory on Tuesday. The ex-transport minister bagged 57,589 votes from the constituency and defeated BJP’s Rakesh Kumar Gullaiya by a margin of 14,583 votes. Sharmistha – who has bagged 6,102 votes – is behind Bhardwaj by 51,487 votes. <br /><br />During the 2013 Assembly elections, Bhardwaj had defeated the BJP’s Ajay Kumar Malhotra by a margin of 13,092 votes. Asked what worked in favour of the AAP in this election, Bhardwaj said it was “the 49 days rule”.<br /><br />The tenure helped the ministers hone their ground-level skills, he said. Also, all the ministers have learnt from their mistakes. “Even Kejriwal learnt his lessons during the 49 days rule,” said Bhardwaj.<br /><br />The Greater Kailash constituency is an interesting mix of areas housing people from all economic backgrounds. The constituency covers Greater Kailash-I, Zamrudpur, Shahpurjat, East of Kailash, parts of Kalkaji, Panchsheel Park, Chirag Dilli, Savitri Nagar, Khirki Extension, C R Park, Greater Kailash-II, Sheikh Sarai-II, among others.<br /><br />The candidate added there was aggressive voting for the AAP from Chirag Dilli, Savitri Nagar, among other places. “There are three categories of voters – the beneficiaries of the system, the indifferent and the victims of the system. The victims, who want the system to change, have voted for us aggressively,” he said.<br /><br />Bhardwaj, however, clarified that the affluent class was not necessarily the beneficiaries. Promising early deliverance on the party promises, the AAP contestant said such a “landslide victory” was not expected. <br /><br />“In the past eight months, the people of Delhi have realised the BJP’s approach is not pro-aam aadmi. The people have seen the best performance during the AAP’s tenure. Our approach will only be pro-people,” said Bhardwaj.</p>
