Prathana Mahanta, March 11: Arvind Kejriwal’s win in Punjab is historic since it is the first time that a regional party has won a second state. Aam Aadmi Party had won 92 seats seats, followed by Congress with 18 seats. The official page of Aam Aadmi Party captioned it, “We are the champions. #AAPSweepsPunjab.”
Ahead of the victory, party Chief and Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal called it a revolution that will be followed across the country. Notably, Kejriwal had said time and time again in his address, “Mujhe rajneeti karna nahin aati hai (I don’t know how to do politics.)”
The Punjab victory is just one step for making Kejriwal the most convincing opposition leader. “I see AAP becoming a national force. AAP is going to be the national and natural replacement of the Congress. It is a tremendous day for AAP as a party, because today we have become a national party. We are no longer a regional party. May the almighty bless us and Arvind Kejriwal. May he lead the nation one day,” AAP’s Raghav Chadha added.
