AAP gets much-needed boost with Jalandhar Lok Sabha byelection victory

The Hindu  

The seat was a bastion of the Congress, which had won it for four consecutive terms. The Jalandhar Lok Sabha byelection victory on May 13 has given the ruling AAP in Punjab a much-needed boost after it suffered a debacle on its home turf, Sangrur, barely three months after sweeping the State Assembly election in 2022. Its candidate, Inder Iqbal Singh Atwal, polled over 1.34 lakh votes, indicating that the BJP has been making inroads into Punjab’s Dalit voter base ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election. Even after a landslide victory in the State assembly election last year, the AAP ended up facing defeat in the Sangrur Lok Sabha byelection. In the Sangrur byelection, the issues of Khalistan and the deaths of Sidhu Moosewala and actor-turned-activist Deep Sidhu played a key role in ensuring the victory of Shiromani Akali Dal chief Simranjit Singh Mann.
