Over a million people from across the country joined the Aam Admi Party within 24 hours after its thumping victory in the Delhi assembly elections, the party claimed on Thursday. The Arvind Kejriwal-led party has shared a mobile number on which people can give a missed call and join the party.
"More than 1 million people have joined AAP within 24 hours of our massive victory," the party tweeted. In another tweet, the AAP claimed about 11 lakh people from all over the country have joined the party with in 24 hours of its victory.
The AAP has registered a landslide victory in Delhi by winning 62 seats, pushing the Bharatiya Janata Party to a distant second and leaving the Congress virtually decimated in the capital. While the BJP won eight seats, the Congress drew a blank for the second time in a row.
The AAP almost replicated its fairy-tale victory of 2015 in a keenly-watched battle fought in the middle of anti-CAA protests.
Arvind Kejriwal will take oath as the chief minister of Delhi for the third time at a grand ceremony to be held at the historic Ramlila Maidan on Sunday.
