After Delhi Assembly elections were declared, Samajwadi Party spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chaand said, "The BJP is the most honest party, you can see their offices like 7-star, 5-star hotels (sarcastically). The question is when they say they will do things, they have been in power for more than 11 years, they had promised about 2 crore jobs, 15 lakh in bank account, doubling farmers' income, cleaning Maa Ganga, where are those promises? They only fight election by polarisation, they don't have any concern for people... SP believes that Opposition parties should fight election together, being ambitious, making many statements against a particular, affected AAP. If Congress and AAP would have fought together, it would have been better. The national parties want to finish regional parties."

Thanking the people of Delhi for the mandate, Modi said, “We will return your love hundredfold in the form of development. It is a debt on us that the double engine government of Delhi will repay by developing Delhi at double the pace.”
“A party that was formed to “rid” the country of corruption became completely corrupt. They deceived the people of Delhi.”
He added, “They laid such a big blame on the people of Haryana. I have taken a vow that we will make Yamuna ji the identity of Delhi. I know the task is tough. But we will make all efforts in the service of Maa Yamuna. These AAP-daa people came to politics saying that they would change politics.
