The noise and clamour has died down. After several weeks of fierce competition, the candidates, party workers and their leaders would be looking to rest their heels today on the eve of polling in the all-important state elections in Delhi.
Arvind Kejriwal, chief of the Aam Aadmi Party, seemed philosophical and optimistic today. Borrowing a leaf from the Bhagawad Gita, he exhorted party workers to ‘work selflessly and never to expect results in return.’
“Leave the results to God. He will bless us,” he wrote in a tweet.
कर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन: – मेरी सभी कार्यकर्ताओं से अपील है – निस्वार्थ भाव से काम करें, फल ईश्वर पर छोड़ दें। इश्वर भला करेंगे

Kejriwal, who remains the most favorite among CM nominees according to opinion polls, added that he would visit all temples and gurudwaras to ask for blessings from God. “Let truth succeed. Let the common man win,” he wrote in the tweet.
Will go to all temples and gurudwaras in my const today. I pray to God – “सच की जीत हो, आम आदमी की जीत हो।”
