In the initial phase of counting, it became quite evident that the party was scoring zero in Goa while it is had done poorly in Punjab.
While the entire country was full of energy on Saturday morning, the social networking websites were as silent as a grave with the AAP leaders going silent on the election results. The Twitter account of most of the AAP leaders, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal did not show any activity since the results started pouring in.
In the initial phase of counting, it became quite evident that the party was scoring zero in Goa while it backed 2nd position in Punjab. The exit polls had predicted that either Congress or AAP would win
Of the 117 seats, the Congress was leading on 64 seats. Whereas Shriomani Akali Dal (SAD)- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance which was written off by all political pundits and journalists before the elections, has sprung a surprise by becoming the second largest party in the state. They were leading on 28 seats by 10.45 am. Two years ago, AAP had scored a sensational victory in Delhi, decimating rivals BJP and Congress. It also debuted in parliament by winning four seats in Punjab in 2014 - the equivalent of 33 seats.
While the leaders were quite excited in the morning and tweeted motivational messages on Twitter before the results, their account became dull after the initial trend. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the morning tweeted and gave best wishes to the party. There was no more reaction from the Deputy CM as well as the CM after the results. AAP leader Ashutosh tweeted in the morning saying the result will set the tone for the future politics in India. “It’s a historic day,” he tweeted.
On the other hand, Kumar Vishwas was among the few AAP leaders who came out in open and spoke about the elections. The leader congratulated BJP and the Congress on their win. “Thanks to Aam Aadmi Party volunteers and candidates for fighting good elections. Congrats @BJP4India and @INC for a good win,” he tweeted at 12.10 pm. Accepting the defeat in his style, he also tweeted a poem. The AAP, which fought its first assembly elections in Punjab, was at third place with 22 seats.
