JP Nadda Slams AAP For Losing All Seats In Haryana Election

In the recent Haryana elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) faced a humiliating defeat, losing deposits on all 90 seats. BJP president JP Nadda didn’t hold back in his criticism, calling AAP ‘kattar beiman’ or thoroughly corrupt.

Nadda’s Mocking Remarks


Speaking at the BJP national headquarters in Delhi, Nadda stated, “They contested all 90 seats, but their performance was so bad that they lost deposits on all.” His remarks highlight the significant gap between AAP’s promises and its actual performance.

AAP’s Diminished Image

The AAP, which rose from an anti-corruption movement, once positioned itself as ‘kattar imandaar’ (thoroughly honest). However, recent corruption allegations against its leaders, including national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, have tarnished its image.

Kejriwal’s Campaign Efforts

Kejriwal, who hails from Haryana, campaigned under the banner of ‘Haryana ka lal’ (Haryana’s son) but faced significant challenges. The party’s decision to field candidates in all 90 seats came after unsuccessful talks with Congress for an alliance.

AAP’s Vote Share Decline

Despite the efforts, AAP garnered only 1.79% of the vote share, according to the Election Commission. The elections were held on October 5, and counting took place on Tuesday.

BJP’s Unexpected Victory

In a surprising turn, the BJP defied exit polls that predicted a sweeping victory for the Congress party. The BJP secured 48 seats with nearly 40% of the votes, while Congress won 37 seats. This marked the BJP’s third consecutive term in Haryana, showcasing its continued popularity in the region despite a decade of anti-incumbency sentiment.
