CM Badal says AAP’s Delhi win won’t affect political dynamics in Punjab

Chandigarh: Commenting on Aam Aadmi Party’s landsliding victory in Delhi Assembly Elections, Punjab Chief Minsiter Parkash Singh Badal said that AAP’s victory in Delhi won’t affect dynamics of Punjab politics. Parkash Singh Badal said that even in 2013 the Aam Aadmi Party had formed government in Delhi but ‘everyone knows what happened afterwards’. He said that Aam Aadmi Party’s impact was confined to Delhi only and it won’t affect Punjab’s politics.

It is notable that Aam Aadmi Party had faced total defeat in rest of India during last Lok Sabha elections but the party was able to win 4 MP seats in Punjab.

Though the Aam Aadmi Party has declared to keep a distance from local body polls in Punjab, the AAP state chief Sucha Singh Chhotepur recently declared that his party would contest 2017 assembly elections.

Political analysts are of the view that AAP’s victory in Delhi will have considerable impact on Punjab’s politics, as the state has already shown it’s lean towards “change” during last Lok Sabha elections.
