Chandigarh: The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday appeared to sweep the Punjab Assembly Election 2022. As per the trends available at around 12 noon, the AAP was leading in 90 out of the total 117 seats in Punjab. Speaking with AAP CM candidate Bhagwant Mann as the party marched towards victory in the border, AAP Punjab co-in charge Raghav Chadha said the people of the state had given a decisive mandate. He said the AAP had appealed to the people to use ‘jhadu’ (broom) in Punjab but they decided to switch on the vacuum cleaner. Chadha said Punjab will now witness development and will not be known as the state where drug use was rampant. “Punjab will not be known as ‘Udta Punjab’ from now onwards, but ‘Uthta Punjab’… all the credit goes to AAP workers, they didn’t worry about day or night, summer or winter, and continued working for the party. AAP will work for everybody progressively,” the AAP leader said.
