Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Monday (June 23, 2025) hailed the party’s performance in the Gujarat and Punjab by-polls, calling them a “semi-final to 2027” and a clear sign that voters would reject both the BJP and the Congress.

Punjab’s ruling AAP retained the Ludhiana West Assembly seat with its candidate Sanjeev Arora registering a victory in a fierce electoral fight against his nearest rival and Congress candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu by a margin of 10,637 votes.
