In Delhi, despite aligning with the Indian National Congress, it lost all four seats it contested at the hands of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
“It is true that AAP has won fewer seats than expected but the battle is not over yet. We will approach the next election with renewed energy,” said AAP general secretary (organisational) Sandeep Pathak.
He said the decision of the people of Delhi was the party’s top priority. “Our hard work has undoubtedly fallen short in some areas,” he admitted, vowing to work harder to win next time.
Pathak said the assembly elections in Haryana and Delhi and by-elections in Punjab were the party’s next target.
AAP Senator Sanjay Singh said party leaders including national president and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain had been jailed.
“If we wanted, we could have negotiated with them, but we entered politics to work for people as leaders, not to become dealers,” Singh asserted.
Delhi AAP president Gopal Rai said the All India camp contested seven seats in the national capital under tough conditions but managed to increase its vote share.
The AAP-Congress alliance, which followed a 40:3 seat allocation formula, was partially successful in preventing vote splitting, but lost to BJP candidates in all seven constituencies.
“The day Arvind Kejriwal contests as India’s prime ministerial candidate, AAP will win all seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi,” Rai said.
This was the first meeting of top AAP leaders since the party’s crushing defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. Delhi government ministers, including Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj, were also present at the meeting.
