AAP wins Jalandhar Lok Sabha bye-election, Apna Dal wins two Assembly seats in UP
The Jalandhar constituency got vacated after Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary died of heart attack during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

The Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday won the bye-election for the Jalandhar Lok Sabha constituency, data from the Election Commission showed. Sushil Rinku defeated Congress candidate Karamjit Kaur Chaudhary by a margin of 58,691 votes.
The election was necessitated after the incumbent Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary died of a heart attack while participating in the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in January. Karamjit Kaur is Chaudhary’s wife.
Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal described the victory as historic and said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s performance in Punjab deserved the credit.
“Jalandhar has been a bastion of Congress for 50 years,” Kejriwal said. “Our politics is about the work we do and we ask for votes on the basis of that. This victory does not only reflect the mood of Jalandhar, but the entire Punjab.”
Jalandhar Bypoll में AAP की ऐतहासिक जीत पर Punjab के लोगों को बधाई????

ये जालंधर का Mood ही नहीं, पूरे पंजाब का Mood है।
