Election results 2014: How Arvind Kejriwal destroyed AAP

Firstpost  

Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party will now have to go in for some serious introspection, given that they have managed to get only 4 seats in the Lok Sabha elections 2014. In March, Kejriwal had claimed that the AAP would get 100 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and the next government would not be formed without AAP’s support. “Kejriwal, in one of the core team’s meeting, had said that whosoever contested from AAP ticket in Delhi would win. “Moreover, the slanderous remarks Kejriwal made against Modi in public rallies were against the ethics on which AAP was built and it didn’t go down well with the electorate,” adds Agarwal.
