The Congress has drawn a blank.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has applauded the BJP's performance and is set to address party workers later this evening.

"I would like to thank the people of Delhi. This is the victory of PM Modi. We had contested the election under his leadership. Following my resignation (from AAP), I had said that this is not the same AAP that it was in 2015, and people of Delhi have given an answer to this," said BJP's Bijwasan candidate Kailash Gahlot. He won the election.
