    2014 Parliamentary Elections in Punjab: Explaining the Electoral Success of Aam Aadmi Party

    113 Ashutosh Kumar: 2014 Punjab Election 2014 Parliamentary Elections in Punjab: Explaining the Electoral Success of Aam Aadmi Party Ashutosh Kumar Panjab University _______________________________________________________________ Arguably, the most significant aspect of the 2014 parliamentary elections in Punjab was the unexpected response of the electorates to the debutant Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Contesting 434 Lok Sabha seats, AAP managed to win four seats, all of them coming from Punjab. In a state having 13 constituencies in all, AAP finished third in eight constituencies and in seven of these eight constituencies, the party received more votes than the margin of victory of the winning candidate thus leaving its distinct impact over the final electoral outcome. The AAP electoral success was important in institutional sense, as it seemed to open the possibility of a triangular contest in the forthcoming 2017 assembly elections, thus ending for once bipolar nature of the state’s party system, in place since the 1997 assembly elections. The CSDS post-poll survey, 2014 showed that the success of AAP was not merely due to double anti-incumbency factor working against the Congress and the Akali Dal-BJP coalition or the ‘Kejriwal factor’. If the party did well despite its organisational weakness and lack of resources, it was more due to the desperation of the electorates of the state with the successive non-performing Congress and Akali regimes alternated since 1992 except in 2012. Another factor that helped the AAP was the impeccable reputations of the party candidates and volunteers. _____________________________________________________________ The most significant aspect of the 2014 parliamentary elections in Punjab was the unexpected response of the electorates to the debutant AAP.1 The party, which contested from all over India cutting across the regional states, could win only four seats and all these seats happened to be from the state of Punjab.

    Recent Elections-How Punjab Went the Congress Way

    Policies & Perspectives Vivekananda international foundation Recent Elections-How Punjab went the Congress Way Rajesh Singh 28 March 2017 Punjab was the only bright spot for the Congress which failed to form Governments in four of the five States that voted for a new Assembly recently. The party not only won the state but secured an impres- sive majority in the 117-member House, and a Government led by Captain Amarinder Singh was in- stalled in Chandigarh. While the victory could not wipe out the Congress’s humiliation of massive de- feats in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, it at least ensured that the party had a regime in one import- ant State at a time when region after region is slipping out of its control. Besides, Punjab, Karnataka is the only other political heavyweight State where the Congress has a Government. How is it that the Congress bucked the trend in Punjab? One key reason is Captain Amarinder Singh’s leadership. He was in complete control of the party in the State and took the major decisions regarding both candidate selection and campaign strategy. The Congress’s ‘strategist’, Prashant Kishor, had a minimal role to play — unlike in Uttar Pradesh where he was everywhere, rubbed senior leaders the wrong way and caused a sense of general confusion, he was put in place in Punjab. Kishor had been inducted by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi in the hope that the former would repeat his Bihar magic where he strategised the victory of Nitish Kumar’s Mahagathbandhan in the Assembly election. Captain Amarinder Singh put his foot down and refused Kishor the space the latter demanded, and the Congress high command demurred.

    Aam Aadmi Party and Emerging Political Scenario in Punjab

    175 Ashutosh Kumar: Aam Aadmi Party The Aam Aadmi Party and Emerging Political Scenario on the Eve of the 2017 Punjab State Assembly Elections Ashutosh Kumar Punjab University _______________________________________________________________ With the assembly elections looming on the horizon, the political landscape of Punjab is getting more complex with each passing day, and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) remains the main protagonist in the ongoing theatrical mode of politics, so typical of the state. The question in the minds of election analysts is whether a four-year-old party facing two of the oldest surviving parties in India will be able to bring about a critical shift in the bipolar party system well established in the state since the 1997 elections. Punjab for long has been reeling under endemic crises in the form of agrarian distress, drug menace, crony capitalism, corruption and an overall governance deficit. Arguably then, any significant electoral gain for the AAP in the 2017 elections, as in the case of the 2014 parliamentary elections, would signify the desperation of the electorate with the firm grip of the Congress and Akali Dal over the levers of power. This explains why despite being a party lacking in terms of state-wide organizational presence, state-specific agenda or state-level leadership, the AAP as a self-proclaimed movement party, committed to clean and principled politics, with politically novice but apparently well-meaning candidates, has been able to raise hope among the wider electorate across the state’s three electoral regions. However, since 2014, as the paper discusses in detail, the party has had a checkered inning in the state.
