Aam Aadmi party is no longer Aam!!

AAP is the 9th one to become the national party now only BJP, TMC, NCP, CPI, CPI(M), BSP, Congress, and NPP.
In Gujarat AAP won 5 seats and got 13% vote share. As the party was contesting the first time it was not going to win another thing that needs to be taken into consideration is that the BJP party is deep-rooted in the state covering even local bodies like Panchayat etc. So it was not an easy cake to challenge BJP on its home ground. Also, BJP had star campaigners with them including the PM and Home Minister in the camp. On the AAP side, only Arvind Kejriwal was a well-known personality.

AAP put everything to gain a presence in Gujarat. With this one thing could be a possibility that AAP could win further election congress seats in elections and hence will increase its seat turnover. So everything is going well for AAP, right? It became a national party and won MCD in Delhi. Well not actually. In Gujarat AAP get only half of Congress’s vote share. Will AAP can retain all its MLA for the next 5 years is a big question. And AAP is only trying to challenge congress in Gujarat state, while BJP vote shares are increasing exponentially. In Himachal Pradesh, AAP does not even win 1 seat. Reports are saying some seats got more nota than AAP votes. So the thinking that AAP manages to win Punjab and due to the anti-incumbency factor in play they will manage to gain some presence over there was not correct and failed miserably. AAP has now become a national party but doesn’t have a national presence. It has governments in Delhi and Punjab. Some MLAs in Gujarat and Goa. But is it enough to challenge a party like BJP? BJP disrupted the whole functioning of a well-established and one-time only largest party in India (congress). Is AAP a challenger to BJP, what do you think?
