Arvind Kejriwal, set to be Delhi chief minister, recommended a video as he tracked results for the Delhi elections.
He tweeted:

Not surprisingly it began to trend on Twitter and Facebook, with over 1 lakh views in just a day.
This is an 'interview' conducted by YouTube channel TheViralFeverVideos or TVF. The highlight is when Arvind Kejriwal mumbles with an apologetic grin, "Mummy kasam," to underscore his assertion that he has never done anything corrupt.
After declining an offer of cough syrup from interviewer 'Arnub Goswami,' Mr Kejriwal answers every possible question that people might have ever wanted to ask him - including why he wears the clothes he does and where he met his wife.
'Barely Speaking' takes digs here at almost everyone - from former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit and BJP's Kiran Bedi to AAP's Kumar Vishwas and Somnath Bharti.
The takeaways from this video are these two quotes from the man in the hotseat (made of plastic):
1. "The broom that we've picked up, we need to teach the aam aadmi to clean not just our cities, but also their houses, politics and their own conscience."
2. "My opponents criticise me for my political statements, you criticise me for my fashion statement, my wife criticises me for my empty bank statement."
The tickers running at the bottom of the video flash "Muffler Man Vs Chick Magneto", "Vishal Dadlani composes a new song for Aap - Broom Macha Le".
And yes, Arvind Kejriwal: "I don't wear Manish Malhotra's clothes, I wear Manish Sisodia's clothes."
In previous interviews, 'Arnub Goswami' has 'Barely Spoken' to Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh and Parineeti Chopra.
