Lost, ‘AAP’ is not out of the match ‘AAP’ – Down but not out kejriwals aadmi party confident amid setback 419255 –

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) suffered defeat in the recently concluded Vidhan Sabha elections in Delhi. In the national capital, ARVIND KEJRIwal, who was in power for 10 years, fell directly from 62 seats in the last election. Despite this crushing defeat, the party is denying that its organization should change at any level. When questioned Amit Palekar, president of your Goa unit about this, he directly replied, ‘What kind of restructuring? We do not need any change in our party at any level. Our seats may have decreased, but our supporters i.e. voter base is still with us.

Palekar says that this time you have got 43.57 percent votes in the Delhi Legislative Assembly elections. This vote share is only 4 percent less than the BJP that came to power. BJP has got 47.15 percent votes with its NDA allies. By the way, AAP leaders definitely admit that their vote share has slipped 10 percent in Delhi. 53.57 percent of the people voted in the 2020 Vidhan Sabha elections in favor of the party. Why this happened, he will have to introspect on it. He also says that you may have lost in Delhi, but the honest politics she has achieved, she will continue it even further and will not compromise her principles. Other leaders in the party are idealistic less and practical existence. A leader associated with the dialogue and development commission, once his thinking, says that the model of the party’s rule in Delhi is based on education, health and electricity. He said, ‘We also have government in Punjab. We will use the experience from Delhi on the model of our politics even more vigorously.

In the coming time, you have many more challenges. The biggest challenge on the political front is the Legislative Assembly elections of Bihar, where the party does not have any real political deposit capital. Therefore, the top leadership of the party is in a hurry about whether to land in Bihar’s election battle. Instead, the party should focus on united and strengthening the organization in Punjab, Goa and Gujarat and playing the role of strong opposition in Delhi.

Despite being in power in Punjab, AAP’s performance in the recent elections has not been special. In November last year, he suffered defeat to the Congress in the by -election for Barnala Legislative Assembly seat. He had to see such a defeat that is the home district of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Party State President Aman Arora and State Finance Minister Harpal Cheema. Not only this, AAP performance in civic elections in December last year was not very good. She was able to get a clear majority in Patiala only among the five corporations of the state. Regarding these elections, Arora says, ‘We were at zero. Now we have 55 percent seats in the body.
