New Delhi: It was a disappointing debut for newcomer Aam Aadmi Party, bagging only four of 443 seats it contested across the country and failing to win a single seat in the national capital despite its impressive show in the last assembly elections.
All the victories were achieved in Punjab—Faridkot (Sadu Singh), Fatehgarh Sahib (Harinder Singh Khalsa), Patiala (Dharam Vira Gandhi) and Sangrur (Bhagwant Mann).
AAP sprang a surprise in Patiala where Gandhi, a medico-turned-politician, trounced Union minister Preneet Kaur in her home turf.
Its leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Kumar Vishwas who had taken on Narendra Modi in Varanasi and Rahul Gandhi in Amethi respectively, lost their electoral battles.
