My appeal to all the Delhiites – do go to cast your vote today to form an honest and working government in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.”
साफ़-स्वच्छ और सुंदर दिल्ली बनाने के लिए आज मतदान है, नगर निगम में एक भ्रष्टाचार मुक्त सरकार बनाने के लिए मतदान है।
सभी दिल्लीवासियों से मेरी अपील- दिल्ली नगर निगम में एक ईमानदार और काम करने वाली सरकार बनाने के लिए आज अपना वोट डालने ज़रूर जाएँ।

In another tweet, in Hindi, Kejriwal said that vote for an honest party, vote for decent and good people. Don’t vote for those who indulge in corruption, hooliganism. Don’t vote for those who litter Delhi. Vote for those who will make Delhi shine and clean. Vote for those who work, don’t vote for those who stop work.
ईमानदार पार्टी को वोट दें,शरीफ़ और अच्छे लोगों को वोट दें
भ्रष्टाचार, गुंडागर्दी, लफ़ंगई, गाली गलौज करने वालों को वोट ना दें
दिल्ली को कूड़ा करने वालों को वोट ना दें। उन्हें वोट दें जो दिल्ली को चमकाएँगे, साफ़ सुथरा करेंगे
काम करने वालों को वोट दें,काम रोकने वालों को वोट न दें
