Punjab: It’s Mayday For The Aam Aadmi Party, Kejriwal Has Fallen
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal
Fighting in the 13 seats in the state of Punjab, AAP finds itself not lost, not rejected, not trailing, but decimated. Barring Sangrur, the stronghold of Bhagwant Mann, the AAP is in a condition where even a political ventilator cannot rescue the health of the party.
Their vote share, in terms of percentage, is as following; Amritsar: 1.96 per cent, Anandpur Sahib: 4.66 per cent, Bathinda: 12 per cent, Faridkot: 10.9 per cent, Fatehgarh Sahib: 4.6 per cent, In Firozpur: 2.42 per cent, Gurdaspur: 1.34 per cent, Hoshiarpur: 4.04 per cent, Jalandhar: 2.69 per cent, Khadoor Sahib; 1.02 per cent, Ludhiana: 1.44 per cent, Patiala: 4.67 per cent, and in Sangrur, it leads by a 38 per cent vote share.
In 2014, the party had won from Patiala, Sangrur, Fatehgarh Sahib and Faridkot, with a vote share of 30 odd per cent. This time, they’ll find 12 of their 13 candidates thankful for saving their deposits, assuming they can.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
