New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal celebrated the party’s impressive performance in the recent bypolls, declaring that the results signal a “semi-final” before the upcoming Assembly elections in Punjab and Gujarat in 2027. Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal said, “Out of the five seats contested, AAP has won two — one in Gujarat and one in Ludhiana. I congratulate Sanjeev Arora and Gopal Italia for their victories. Compared to the 2022 elections, we have won with double the margin this time.”
He emphasised that AAP’s win in Punjab reflects people’s satisfaction with the state government. “It clearly shows that the public is happy with our work in Punjab where we are in power. This by-election is just a trailer — the final in 2027 will be a political tsunami,” he said. Both Gujarat and Punjab will face assembly elections in 2027. Kejriwal also took aim at the ruling BJP in Gujarat, stating, “Defeating BJP in Gujarat is tough, but today’s results prove that the people there are fed up with them. Winds of change are blowing.”
