Kejriwal in a tweet, he said, “Vote for honest party, vote for decent and good people. Do not vote for those who abuse corruption, hooliganism. Do not vote for those who litter Delhi. Vote for those who will make Delhi shine and clean.Vote for those who work, don’t vote for those who stop working”.

I appeal to all the Delhi citizens to go for voting to form an honest and performing government at the MCD”.
Adesh Gupta said, “I just cast my vote. It is everyone’s responsibility… so come out and vote. I will only say the BJP has come out with the report card. The work we have done in the MCD in the state and at Centre is in front of the public. On the other hand, there is the AAP with the number of corruption cases they have. Their minister is in jail and yet enjoying massage and luxury food inside the jail”.
