  • The Illusion and Reality of Anti-Modi Wave in the Punjab 2019 General Election: a Note
    147 Singh & Mann: Illusion and Reality of Anti-Modi Wave The Illusion and Reality of anti-Modi Wave in the Punjab 2019 General Election: A Note Pritam Singh & Rajkamal S. Mann University of Oxford & Oxford Brookes University _______________________________________________________________ Punjab’s 2019 General Election results have some similarity in terms of response to the so-called Modi wave with the General Election results in 2014 but also substantial difference. During the 2014 elections, Punjab had demonstrated its political distinctiveness from the rest of India most spectacularly in the way it had defied the Modi wave then but in 2019, there is an appearance of the same political tendency repeating itself. But beneath that appearance, there is an underlying reality which tells a different story. During the 2014 elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which could not win even a single seat in any other state and lost deposits in most of the seats it contested, won four seats from Punjab and with massive margins of victory. So powerful was the AAP wave in Punjab that even the remaining seats it contested but did not win, its candidates polled lakhs of votes. The AAP performance in Punjab in 2014 seemed to indicate that it could have all India implications in terms of emerging as a non-Congress alternative to BJP (Singh, 2018). Within Punjab, it certainly raised expectations that a third alternative political current can emerge in opposition to the two main traditional rivals - Indian National Congress (INC) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) (Badal) (Singh, 2017). The non-democratic mode of functioning of Arvind Kejriwal, the head of the AAP, created deep splits in the party which dashed any hopes of the party emerging as an all India party.

    History Research Journal ISSN:0976-5425 VOL-5-ISSUE-5-SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER-2019 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and 2017 Assembly Elections in Punjab: An Analytical Study Dr. Manvendra Singh Assistant Professor, Department of Government and Public Administration, School of Humanities, Lovely Professional University, E-mail: [email protected] Ms Harpreet Kaur PhD Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, School of Humanities, Lovely Professional University, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Despite the unpredicted electoral mandate AAP got in 2014, the party won just one seat in 2019 General Elections in Punjab. While emerging as a third alternative in 2017 assembly elections, AAP failed in gaining ground against Modi wave in General Elections. This article will focus on the key factors responsible for the failure of AAP in Punjab. Fissure within the party, incapability of AAP in creating the balance between Punjab and Delhi leadership resulted in the poor performance not only in Punjab but across India. The party drew a blank in by- polls in the four constituencies: Phagwara, Dakha, Mukerian and Jalalabad. This performance of AAP has revealed the poor connection of the party leaders with the people. The paper will emphasize on the electoral performance of the party since its unexpected emergence in Punjab and will throw a dim light on its future prospects in Punjab. It is a matter of great concern whether the AAP will disappear into Modi fog or solidify its existence in Punjab in forthcoming elections. Key Words: Fissure, Solidify, Squabble, Unpredicted Introduction Desperation among the people of India against corruption and the movement of 2011 led by Anna Hazare made inroads into the formation of AAP in 2012.
