Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday congratulated Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal for his party’s spectacular victory in the Delhi Assembly elections.

The victory of AAP reflects the greatness of democracy in India, Mr. Naidu said in a statement here.

In a near-sweep, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today decimated BJP and Congress by recording a landslide victory and is set to secure 66 of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections reducing the national parties to single digits.

In the last elections, the BJP had emerged as the largest party with 31 seats, the AAP 28 and the Congress 8.

Mr. Kejriwal formed a government with Congress support and resigned after 49 days in February 2014 over the Lokpal issue.
