The Assam Chief Minister also took a swipe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and said he is best in theatrics. "People's excitement makes it clear what the result of the election will be. Kejriwal is best in theatrics. He thinks Hindus are enemies, but can India exist without Hindus? He should apologize for the riots in Delhi during CAA (implementation). BJP will win this election," Sarma told ANI during the roadshow.
