Manish Sisodia: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has achieved significant success in the Tarn Taran by-election, and the voters have handed a clear mandate to the party since voters have trusted the governance of Bhagwant Mann and the Punjab government. This is another major win for AAP, complementing the growing political force in the state.
Manish Sisodia Thanked Voters for Supporting Mann
Shortly after the results were announced, the senior leader of AAP and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, expressed sincere thanks to the people of Tarn Taran. In a message, Sisodia stated the voters sent a strong message of support for honest governance, of leadership that prioritises development, and continued effort by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
He called the victory “the full mandate of celebration of hard work, integrity, and the type of government that keeps its promises,” and also congratulated AAP workers for remaining grounded in their communities and staying connected with real issues on the ground.
Citizens Reextended Trust in AAP’s Welfare-Supporting Model
Political observers note that AAP’s victory reflects growing public goodwill for its welfare-oriented policies- from health and education to reductions in power tariff and lowering costs of civic goods. As a rural and border district, Tarn Taran has benefited from many grassroots development programmes launched since Mann’s informal role as party leader.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann welcomed the outcome, calling it a win for the “people, not a party.” He reiterated the message that the vote reaffirmed the belief that the people of Punjab want governance that is transparent, accountable, and centred on the welfare of the public.
Traditional Parties Struggle with Diminished Support
Neither Congress nor the BJP was able to make a break-in with voters as the by-election proved difficult for both parties. Analysts suggest that this reflects a deepening AAP organisational structure and that the public wanted continuity in governance, and not political disruptors.
Celebrations Erupt in Tarn Taran Over AAP Win
Following the election victory, AAP workers and supporters celebrated throughout the district with dhols, sweets and meet-ups. Many corroborated that the win was indeed the “people’s stamp of approval” for the government’s continuing work.
Privokal Win Enhances AAP Ahead of Future Polls
The recent win boosts AAP for the next election fights. Sisodia instructed party workers to use the victory as inspiration to work harder for the people of Punjab because trust gained is trust held.
