New Delhi, Feb 10 (IBNS): All set to be the Chief Minister of Delhi again, Arvind Kejriwal of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said he will end bribery and serve everyone.
 
"I will be people's chief minister," said Arvind Kerjiwal speaking to NDTV.
 
He told the channel that his job will be to end bribery first. 
 
He said he would be the chief minister of even those who did not vote for AAP.
 
Counting of votes in the Delhi Assembly polls progressed on Tuesday  as Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is heading for an absolute majority as per the trends while BJP is trailing much behind in the second spot and Congress appeared to have been decimated. 
 
AAP is leading in 57 seats while the Bharatiya Janata Party is ahead in 12 seats. AAP said it might bag anything between 50 and 57 seats as celebrations already began in their camps.

The Congress is leading in three seats.

A BJP spokesperson on TV said the victory is a referendum on Arvind Kejriwal and they must have done something remarkable in their 49 days in power and communicated well with the people. 
 
In the morning Arvind Kejriwal tweeted: "All the very best Delhiites. Do pray. Prayers are very powerful."

AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said: "This may be a historic day! The juggernaut likely to halt. David likely to overcome Goliath. Hope lives again."
 
BJP's CM candidate Kiran Bedi was initially trailing in Krishna Nagar seat too.
 
 Congress leader Ajay Maken was also trailing in Sadar Bazar seat.
 
The poll was seen as a battle between Arvind Kejriwal and the charisma of Narendra Modi since a Modi wave was sweeping rest of India since the BJP cam to power last year at the centre.
