378: AAP Wins Delhi Polls: How Can AAP Expand Beyond Delhi & Across India?


Listen Later

62 out of 70! The Aam Aadmi Party was voted to power in Delhi for its third term since 2013, with a landslide 62 out of 70 seats and over 54% vote share.

The AAP rode to victory on its campaign of welfare and good governance, in contrast to the BJP, which won the remaining 8 seats, campaigning on promises of polarisation and “punishing the protesters of Shaheen Bagh”. The Congress failed to win a single seat. 

With this sweeping victory, has the AAP cracked the equation to spread its tendrils into other parts of India? Can it successfully negotiate national politics? What does AAP need to keep in mind if it hopes to expand its base across India?

Today we’ll find out.
