p style=”text-align: justify;”> Yes, today the Aam Aadmi Party has waved its flag in Punjab too. The voters of the state have put their stamp on Kejriwal’s Delhi model. AAP has not only emerged as the single largest party in Punjab, but it is also seen to be far ahead of the majority figure. Now Bhagwant Mann’s becoming CM is almost certain.
Although the interesting thing is that there is a contest between the Congress and the Akali Dal for the second number, but both together do not seem to reach even a quarter of the AAP. At the same time, BJP has also longed to touch the double digit. So on the other hand, the current CM Channi, Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu and former Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh have also not been able to show any special feat.

Hitting out at the Congress and the BJP, he said, “These parties have never done any work for the welfare of the common people.” Sukhwinder Singh, an AAP supporter in Dhuri, said, “The trend is showing our party getting a thumping majority and it shows that the people of Punjab have shown faith in the Delhi model of governance.”
