National Times Bureau (Rajeev Sharma): AAP clinches victory in Visavadar (Gujarat) and Ludhiana West (Punjab) by-elections, party’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal says, “In February elections, we won Visavadar seat but our MLA left the party and joined the BJP… But today, we have won both the seats (including Ludhiana West) with a double margin. We won Ludhiana West as well, and it shows that people are happy with our work.
It is said that it’s always the ruling party that wins the by-elections, but in Gujarat it is the BJP which is in power and it has also hold on the administration and machinery; despite that if the people have given us votes and we won by a double margin, it shows that people are fed up with the BJP.”
