The Punjab Assembly elections have taken place again and everybody is shocked by the miraculous victory of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the Congress and the BJP. The election results were declared on March 10, 2022, and the AAP has managed to win 92 Assembly seats out of 117. It was a remarkable defeat for traditionally winning parties like the Congress, BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal.
How have these election results impacted the people of Chandigarh and Punjab? And what have the consequences of these results been on the other parties?
In my opinion, the state has chosen to trust a new party in the hope of the state’s development. Punjab has gone on a bizarre track for many years. The parties that used to win polls in Punjab have failed to maintain trust and honesty within people. This is why people from Chandigarh have elected a new party for mobilising the people and taking them forward together.
Bhagwant Mann has become the party leader of the state and he is very excited to become Punjab’s Chief Minister. It is predicted to be a huge step in the politics of the leaders of AAP against the BJP, Leaders from the BJP are all set to quit their roles and congratulate the winners. As a part of the Punjab citizenship, I hope to see Punjab levelling up in the state as well as the country’s politics.
Arvind Kejriwal has repeatedly mentioned in his speech that ‘instead of playing politics, he favours building schools and hospitals.’ He has also mentioned that he doesn’t discriminate between people from any political party and believes in working together. This is a progressive approach for the state. I hope that these claims are true that is why we voted in favour of the party.
The AAP has even surpassed the political farmer’s party. The Sanyukt Samaj Morcha gained the only seat in the elections. We still hope for the betterment of farmers and the agricultural industry by the AAP members. The leaders from other parties have accepted their defeat and congratulated the AAP members for their victory.
The struggle of the AAP leader, Bhagwant Mann from a comedian to a political leader is being considered a measurable cause for victory. The AAP Chief, in speech, recalled the dreams of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh of freeing India from the laws and looting since the British period. The party has brought about a revolution in Delhi for seven years in terms of medical and educational facilities.
We have seen the changes made by the AAP since 2017. And the Chief of AAP, Mr Kejriwal has been claiming for a ‘badlaav’, that is ‘revolution’. These things have made us trust the Aam Aadmi Party and its leaders.
I will not say that Punjab is a backward state but it won’t be wrong to say that Punjab needs to be developed more. It needs to progress in agriculture, education and healthcare. Many traditional winning parties promised this kind of progress but proved to be false every time.
The people of Chandigarh, hence, have decided this time to give chance to a new party in the 2022 elections. It is high time we see a positive change in Punjab.
And this is the reason why we have chosen to trust the AAP this time. We expect it to meet the expectations of Punjab. This is my opinion about the Punjab election results of 2022. Let me know yours in the comments section below.
