Earlier in the day, AAP leader Ashutosh had said that they were hoping to form government in Punjab but were disappointed with the result.

“We were hoping to form a government in Punjab,” Aam Aadmi Party leader Ashutosh said, adding, “We were disappointed with the result.

He said all the AAP leaders needed to introspect where the party’s assessment of taking power in the border state with more than 100 of the 117 seats went wrong.

Going by reports, Captain Amarinder Singh-led Congress party has scored 78 seats, ahead of AAP and the SAD-BJP alliance. AAP has scored 20, while SAD-BJP alliance has scored 16.
