New Delhi: BJP on Saturday said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) turned out to be as good or bad as any other political party even as TMC described it as an experiment and said it was too early to say it has failed.
BJP’s Balbir Punj, who was a part of a discussion on dissent within and outside political parties at the India Today conclave here, said the AAP promised a “certain utopia” and a political set minus problems of ordinary political parties.
“This was an impossible promise. Ultimately, AAP has turned out be as good or bad as most of the other political parties,” Punj said. He said the Delhi Assembly election results came as a “shock” to BJP and the migration of voters from Congress to the AAP was a major factor behind it. “As far as BJP is concerned, Delhi came as a shock to us also. Though our vote share remained as that of last Vidhan Sabha elections. There was no change. But because Congress voters migrated to the AAP, the result came out the way it did,” Punj said. (PTI)
