Aam Aadmi Party bags 3 seats in Punjab, loses Delhi seats to BJP

The Hindu  

The Aam Aadmi Party, having contested in 22 seats across Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Assam in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, managed to win three seats in Punjab, increasing its representation in Parliament from the sole seat it won in 2014 and 2019 elections. AAP national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister had been confident that things would go differently for the party this time around, given that this was the first polls it was facing as a ‘national party’. Keen to showcase its “kaam ki jajneeti“, the INDIA bloc member drew a hard bargain with the Congress not only for the 4-3 seat-sharing alliance in the national capital but also for the Bharuch seat in Gujarat where the Congress had to deny Faisal Patel, son of the late Congress stalwart Ahmed Patel, a ticket from his father’s former constituency. Mr. Kejriwal, who emerged as a star campaigner not only for the AAP but for the INDIA bloc as well with his direct attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, however, could not change the electoral fortunes of his party on the national stage.
