With the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) winning the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections, AAP leaders in Punjab said that the results show the people of the country are admiring the working style of the Arvind Kejriwal-led party.
Speaking to reporters, the AAP leaders said that the people across the country are now fed up with the politics of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress. They said the people are now looking at the AAP as an alternative for change and that is why the party is continuously registering big victories in different elections across the country.
There was a wave of happiness among the party leaders and workers of Punjab on the resounding victory of the AAP in the MCD elections. The AAP workers gathered at the party headquarters in Chandigarh and distributed sweets and wished each other for victory.
Punjab Cabinet Ministers Brahm Shankar Jimpa, Chetan Singh Jauramajra, Lalchand Kataruchak, Harbhajan Singh and Laljit Bhullar celebrated and shared the joy of victory by dancing on the beats of Dhol with party leaders and workers. The AAP stormed to power in the MCD, ending the 15-year rule of the BJP in the powerful civic body of the National Capital.
Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday claimed that the exit polls which predicted the party’s loss in Gujarat will prove to be wrong. He said that the results in Gujarat, where the party exerted all its efforts to make inroads, will be surprising.
He said that the people do not like the “politics of hatred” and they vote for schools, hospitals, cleanliness and infrastructure. “I have had talks with Arvind Kejriwal on many issues. We are getting a majority in the MCD. Now there will be cleanliness in Delhi,” Mann said.
“The BJP wanted to stop the AAP. So it had fielded its entire force on the ground. I will be with you again tomorrow during the Gujarat Assembly polls results. The results will be surprising. The exit polls will prove to be wrong in Gujarat. I will go to the party office and celebrate with the workers,” he added.
