The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) suffered a significant loss in the Haryana Assembly polls, failing to secure any seats. The outcome dealt a blow to Arvind Kejriwal's party, which failed to make its mark as anticipated.
Senior vice president Anurag Dhanda faced a major defeat, trailing in seventh position against Congress' Vikas Saharan in Kalayat. Despite the absence of AAP contenders across all 90 assembly seats, hopes were high during the campaign, especially after Kejriwal's release from jail.
AAP's efforts in Haryana fell short, following earlier losses in Lok Sabha elections and failed alliances. The party's promises of reforms and Kejriwal's 'Haryana ka laal' campaign theme didn't resonate with voters, leaving AAP to reconsider its strategies in the state.
