NEW DELHI: A day after Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) historic victory in Punjab, state Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu said the people took a “great decision” and asserted that this is a “politics of change”.
Sidhu who lost the polls from Amritsar East seat said that his goal is the development of Punjab and the one who loves Punjab doesn’t care about of election results.
“You reap what you sow. This election was for a change. People took a great decision and the public is never wrong. I am not going into a deep thought of whether people accepted Channi’s face as chief minister’s candidate or not,” Sidhu said.
“People who dug holes for Sidhu got buried in holes 10 feet deeper. Let bygones be bygones. People have voted for AAP for a change, I congratulate them. New seeds have to be sown. Not ‘chinta’ but ‘chintan’ should be done,” he added.
The Aam Aadmi Party Thursday stormed to power in Punjab, bagging a record 92 of the 117 seats by decimating the Congress and the SAD-BSP combine.
While the AAP bagged three-fourths of the seats, the Congress won 18, the Shiromani Akali Dal three, the BJP two and the BSP just one. An independent also emerged victorious.
The AAP will now form its second government in the country after the one led by Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi.
Political stalwarts like Channi, Parkash Singh Badal, Amarinder Singh, Navjot Singh Sidhu and Sukhbir Singh Badal had to face the drubbing.
