"We are very happy with God's grace," the 51-year-old AAP chief's son told news agency ANI on his massive election win.
"I read in the newspaper that even Maharashtra is following the steps which he (Arvind Kejriwal) has taken such as waiving off electricity bills. Arvind will now work much harder this time," he further said.
