India
It's not a good day to be an Aam Aadmi supporter. After decimating the Delhi election in 2015, the Arvind Kejriwal-led party expected that history would repeat itself in Punjab and Goa, the two states where the party decided to contest elections. However, things didn't go according to plan. While the party has around 25 seats in Punjab, it's yet to open it account in Goa (although these numbers are too early).

On Saturday morning, Ashutosh, the AAP spokesperson put a tweet saying that it would set the tone for the future of politics in India.
Today's results will set the tone for the future politics in India. It's a historic day.

The exit polls had predicted an AAP victory in Punjab. But the results have shown otherwise, and if this is the trend, then Arvind Kejriwal and his partymen may have to seriously rethink their Municipal Corporation of Delhi strategy.
