As is now customary after any election victory of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi, the party supporters celebrated its win in the civic body polls by dancing to ‘Rinkiya ke Papa,’ a song crooned by BJP MP and actor, Manoj Tiwari.

Several Twitter users, including members of the Aam Aadmi Party, shared a clip of AAP supporters dancing to the song.

In February 2020, after the Arvind Kejriwal-led party scored a stupendous win in the assembly election, AAP supporters had mocked Tiwari – at the time, the BJP's Delhi unit chief – by dancing to and singing a ‘parody’ version of the song.
