Winds of change lift AAP in Punjab

The Hindu  

The Aam Aadmi Party’s big victory in the Punjab Assembly polls hints that the State people have voted for ‘alternative politics’. The ‘disillusionment’ of the voters from the traditional parties could be gauged from the fact that stalwarts of the Congress and the SAD faced drubbing at the hands of relative newcomers of the AAP. No ‘outsider’ The announcement of Punjab-based Bhagwant Mann as its chief ministerial candidate also worked in favour of the AAP, as it helped the party to counter the narrative of an ‘outsider’ party. The AAP pitched its campaign surrounding the ‘Delhi model of governance’, seeking ‘one chance’ to form the next government, which seems to have cut the ice among voters. As the SAD looks facing one of its worst electoral drubbings by unlikely to reach even the two-figure mark, the Akalis will have something to worry about because gradually internal bickering could start in the party and Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal’s leadership could begin to see a challenge from within the party.
