Former India opening batsman Gautam Gambhir has registered victory in the Lok Sabha Election in the country. Contesting on behalf of BJP (Bharatiya Janta Party) from East Delhi constituency, Gambhir defeated Congress’ Arvinder Singh Lovely and AAP’s Atishi Marlena among his main competitors.
Having announced retirement from all forms of cricket in December last year, Gambhir had joined hands with BJP in March this year.
The southpaw had started to entice eyeballs after his criticizing remarks on social media platform Twitter in the recent times. While he refused to contest elections immediately after retiring, it seems he took his time to come to a conclusion.
In what was a debut on a whole new platform, Gambhir has registered a colossal victory. Having gained 52.2% votes, Gambhir has accumulated more than double the votes from the next candidate in Lovely (25.8). The fact that Gambhir received in excess of three lakh votes in itself speaks highly about the expanse of his victory.

Neither it’s a ‘Lovely’ cover drive and nor it is an ‘आतिशी’ बल्लेबाज़ी। It’s just the BJP’s ‘गंभीर’ ideology which people have supported. Thanks a lot to all the @BJP4India and @BJP4Delhi team-mates for getting this mandate. We won’t fail people’s choice. #EkBaarPhirModiSarkar

इस चुनाव में अरविंद केजरीवाल ने अपना ज़मीर और ईमान खोया है, 8 महीने में अपनी सत्ता खोएगा ! जितना कीचड़ AAP ने दिल्ली में फैलाया है, उतना ही ‘कमल’ दिल्ली में खिलेगा !!

Right now, Gautam Gambhir is getting 56% votes and Atishi Marlena is far 3rd. This is where the armchair AC analysts have not been able to guess the mood of people.

Congratulations for the splendid win Gautam bhai. I know today u are very happy. But in this mood of happiness, don’t forget what @AtishiAAP and @ArvindKejriwal tried to do to your image. Pl don’t take the defamation suit back. Don’t forgive them. They’ve crossed all the limits.

NDTV whining that Atishi is losing to Gautam Gambhir. Not true. She lost to Arvinder Singh Lovely, who is in 2nd place. Well deserved defeat for that pamphlet stunt.
