"When we got the news of Manish (Sisodia) losing from Jangpura, my wife, who is apolitical, started crying," said Vishwas, a poet, who was also one of the founding members of the AAP.

Recalling an old conversation and hinting at the arrogance displayed by the AAP leader, Vishwas said, “When Sisodia was once told by my wife that 'Bhaiya, you are not always going to be in power', Manish Sisodia shot back saying 'Abhi toh hai (I am in power today). I hope others will not display this arrogance. Other parties will learn and profit from it. I congratulate the citizens of Delhi."
