New Delhi, Feb 11 (IANS) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said the party’s landslide victory in the capital was a blessing of Lord Hanuman.
Kejriwal was addressing volunteers at the party office for the first time after he got a clear majority in the Delhi Assembly poll results on Tuesday.
Kejriwal had been mocked by the BJP after he recited Hanuman Chalisa on TV and visited a Hanuman temple a day before polling.

Kejriwal said a new kind of politics has been born today — “the politics of work”.
“This politics will make us of the 21st century India,” he said.
“It is Tuesday and Hanuman ji has blessed us. We, the 2 crore people of Delhi, will make the city beautiful,” the Chief Minister said, thanking everyone for the victory.
“My family also supported me. It is my wife’s birthday. I had cake, you will also get it,” Kejriwal said.
“People elected us with high hopes. I cannot do it alone, we all have to work together,” he added.
