The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has termed the results of Punjab Election 2022 as “trailer” in a few months on the back of its stellar performance in its first phase in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation elections.
In the Chandigarh municipal elections, the party won 14 out of 35 seats, taking the incumbent BJP to the second spot with 12 seats, while the Congress could manage just eight.
AAP has fallen short of the majority mark, but its tally comes as a major morale boost for party leaders and cadres, who claim the results support the “Arvind Kejriwal Model of Governance” party in Punjab. I am doing. The leaders said the victory gave much-needed momentum to the party ahead of the elections and the results reflected a “huge” anti-incumbency wave against the BJP.
Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal said the Chandigarh results are a “sign” of things to come in Punjab.
This victory of Aam Aadmi Party in Chandigarh Municipal Corporation is a sign of the coming change in Punjab. People of Chandigarh today rejected the corrupt politics and chose the honest politics of AAP. Many congratulations to all the winning candidates and all the workers of AAP. .
This time Punjab is ready for change.

“Voters have voted for the model that Arvind Kejriwal has been promising. It is a victory of the people and it is an indication of the direction in which the assembly elections will go.
Local AAP leaders said the results would definitely energize the party cadre across the state. AAP is yet to declare the chief ministerial face but has announced 73 candidates so far. There are 117 seats in the Punjab Legislative Assembly. Reports that the newly formed Punjab United Kisan Morcha wants to forge an alliance with the AAP will come as an additional boost to the party.
With recently repealed agricultural laws and drug cases taking a toll on elections, the latest incidents like the Ludhiana court blast and the lynchings of sacrilege accused in Kapurthala and Amritsar have injected more adrenaline into the hot race.
