  • The Staccato of Aam Aadmi Party (Aap) in 2020: an Analytical Study of Its Hat-Trick
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 The Staccato Of Aam Aadmi Party (Aap) In 2020: An Analytical Study Of Its Hat-Trick 1 2 Dr. Manvendra Singh , Ms Harpreet Kaur 1Assistant Professor, Department of Government and Public Administration, School of Humanities, Lovely Professional University, 2PhD Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, School of Humanities, Lovely Professional University, E-mail:[email protected],[email protected] ABSTRACT The landslide victory, for the third time, of a just born Aam Aadmi party (AAP) in the capital of India (Delhi Assembly Elections - 2020) opened the door for a new era of politics. Rejecting the divisive and hate politics, the people of Delhi gave their mandate in favor of Aam Aadmi Party. Staking the claim of historical win in assembly elections, Kejriwal not only assured his hat-trick but also raised the question on tripartite electoral contest in Delhi. Indian National Congress which ruled Delhi for fifteen years in a row could not open an account in this election. Despite the strong foothold of Modi in the Centre, BJP failed in making the most of Delhi battle with its communal politics. Having succeeded in putting a halt to hate politics, the amazing victory of AAP in Delhi Assembly made it clear about the presence of politics of development and good governance. Despite exhorting the people for accepting development model of parties, Delhi poll results made a shift in electoral politics which can give impetus to other parties across the country. What has gone wrong with saffron power in Delhi Assembly elections will be the point of focus in this paper along with the strategic opportunity AAP has created that was nowhere to be seen even at the far distance.
