She had decided to promote AAP because "Arvind Kejriwal has the capability to deliver".
"AAP is people friendly. AAP is the change which India needs today. People are hoping that the party will take some big actions on issues like women security and corruption. People needed one party which thinks like the common man and AAP does the same," she had said.
The party faced a big backlash in the Lok Sabha elections last year. But it has risen from the ashes like a phoenix this time.
Several Bollywood celebrities took to Twitter to celebrate the win of Arvind Kejriwal's AAP.
