Gujarat will get a new and good chief minister from the holy land of Lord Krishna," the Delhi Chief Minister said in the tweet in Hindi.

Responding to it, Gadhvi tweeted, "The faith you and the people of Gujarat have placed in me, I assure that I will serve the people of Gujarat till my last breath. Jai Jai Garvi Gujarat!" Gadhvi, a former TV journalist, was named the party's CM candidate on November 4 based on the result of a poll conducted by the AAP.
