When you walk the path of truth, all forces help you: Kejriwal
"If you are on the path of truth, all forces will come together to support you. I thank you all. I am also scared that people reposed such faith in me," he told the crowd of cheering supporters in his first public .
"I will be people's chief minister and VIP culture," said Arvind Kerjiwal. "People have done something spectacular," he said.
He said 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.
"Alone I am a very small man, we have to do it all together. This Delhi belongs to everyone," he said.
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 63 seats while the Bharatiya Janata Party is ahead in 6 seats.
The Congress is leading in none.
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.

AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said: "This may be a historic day! The juggernaut likely to halt. David likely to overcome Goliath. Hope lives again."
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.
