"I believe people were being misunderstood. Today, the people of Delhi have shown that politics of hatred will continue, people will try to pit Hindus and Muslims against each other, but if the people have developed as an alternative, a face that gives the people better electricity, water, education, they will choose him," Sisodia added.  

Sisodia who was also the education minister in the AAP cabinet spoke about how the priority will always be education and how parties in power will now be chosen on the basis of education.
