Delhi BJP Chief Manoj Tiwari Accepts People’s Mandate, says ‘Will Review Party’s Failure’
Saying that the saffron party did not indulge in the politics of hatred, Tiwari stated that his party is against the roadblock in Shaheen Bagh.
New Delhi: With the latest trends from the Election Commission giving a thumping victory to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Delhi Assembly Election 2020, Delhi’s BJP chief Manoj Tiwari on Tuesday conceded defeat and accepted people mandate, saying the people of Delhi must have given mandate after careful thinking.
“The national capital must have given mandate after careful thinking. Our vote percentage has increased from 32 per cent to around 38 per cent,” Manoj Tiwari said.
Holding a press conference, Tiwari said that his party will review why it failed in the polls and asked the party workers not to get dishearted.
“We will review why we failed to meet our own expectations. We couldn’t perform well, we’ll evaluate this. Sometimes we get discouraged when results are not as per our expectations, but I would like to tell our workers to not be disheartened. Compared to 2015, our winning percentage has increased,” he said.

Saying that the saffron party did not indulge in the politics of hatred, Tiwari stated that his party is against the roadblock in Shaheen Bagh.
“We indulge in the politics of development and not in the politics of hatred. We’re against the roadblock in Shaheen Bagh as we were earlier,” Tiwari added.
Manoj Tiwari, Delhi BJP chief: We don't do politics of hate, we do politics of 'sabka saath sabka vikas'. Lot of things are said during elections but we never wanted that roads should be blocked for 60 days. We opposed that yesterday, we are opposing that today. #DelhiResults pic.twitter.com/E0BwnqgSy1

I accept the mandate of people of Delhi and congratulate Arvind Kejrwial. I hope he’ll perform well as per the expectations of the people,” he added.
