There were speculations of political change in Punjab, but today’s election results have set a new definition of change. Here the Aam Aadmi Party not only left behind the majority figure, but created such a mountain of winning seats that even its allies, including the Congress, Akali Dal and BJP, together are able to reach only about a quarter of the AAP.

AAP’s CM candidate Bhagwant Mann has won a record victory by 45,000 votes. He defeated Dalbir Goldie of Congress from Dhuri seat. Current CM Charanjit Channi lost both the seats to AAP candidate. At the same time, Navjot Sidhu, Captain Amarinder, Sukhbir Badal also had to face defeat at the hands of AAP. For the first time in 30 years, no member of the Badal family won an assembly election.

The effect of victory and defeat on the homes of leaders
Election defeat and victory can also be gauged by looking at the homes of the leaders. The house of Bhagwant Mann, the conqueror of Punjab, has been decorated with flowers. Jalebis were also being made in their house since morning. On the other hand, there is silence in the house of current CM Charanjit Channi and Akali leader Sukhbir Singh Badal.
