Congress Victory in Parliament

In the parliamentary elections, the Congress party emerged as the largest party in Punjab, winning seven seats. This victory was attributed to the party's strong organizational structure and the popularity of its local leaders.

AAP's Strong Showing

The Aam Aadmi Party's impressive performance in the Lok Sabha elections demonstrated its growing support in Punjab. The party's anti-corruption message and its focus on grassroots issues resonated with voters, resulting in the party's three seat victory.

SAD's Limited Gain
