AAP’s victory in Punjab
Aam Aadmi Party candidate Sanjeev Arora is ahead in Ludhiana West seat in Punjab. He has almost reached close to victory. Sanjeev Arora is leading by 8,697 votes after counting the 12th round in 14. After the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi in January, Ludhiana West Assembly seat was vacant, so the election became necessary there.
The opposition party Congress bets on former minister and Punjab Congress executive president Bharat Bhushan Ashu. As soon as Arora becomes an MLA, he will have to leave the Rajya Sabha seat, which will make this seat vacant. In such a situation, speculations are being made that the party may send AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal to Rajya Sabha from Punjab.
