New Delhi:
Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party scored a landslide win in Punjab with leads in 92 seats in the 117-seat assembly, while the ruling Congress trailed with 18 seats in what was previously considered their stronghold.
Counting of votes for the Punjab Assembly Election 2022 began at 8 am today. Within the first two hours, NDTV called the result for the election based on early trends and predicted an AAP triumph in the state.
As vote counting progressed, Punjab's former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh -- who won the 2017 Assembly elections for Congress by a massive margin -- lost his constituency, Patiala Urban, to his AAP rival, while Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi lost the election from both seats he contested from.
Other political heavyweights like Congress' Navjot Singh Sidhu, Akali Dal patriarch Parkash Singh Badal and Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal also lost, marking the first time in 30 years that the Badal family will go unrepresented in the Punjab state assembly. AAP's Chief Ministerial face Bhagwant Mann, on the other hand, scored the Dhuri seat he was contesting from, in yet another win for the party of the hour.
AAP, positioning itself as an agent of change, designed its poll campaign this time round to encourage people to vote for "badlav" (change), and targeted the traditional political parties for "looting" the state. These parties are the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Congress, who have alternatively been forming the government in Punjab ever since 1966.
The state, which has over 2.14 crore eligible voters, went to polls on February 20 and recorded a voter turnout of 71.95 per cent -- its lowest in comparison to the past three assembly elections in Punjab.
Here are the Highlights on the 2022 Punjab Election Results:

AAP's Raghav Chadha says the Punjab result did not shock the party, it is on "expected lines" and what the internal surveys of the party had projected. "We were hopeful that it is going to be a landslide. I'd said it sometime that we will get a 3/4th, may be in a bit of overconfidence, and we actually got that. This is unbelievable. This is a chamatkaar," he said.

Punjab Election Results: AAP Sweeps Punjab - A Summary
Mar 10, 2022 17:49 (IST)
Punjab Chief Minister-elect Bhagwant Mann's former career as a comedian has given the Internet much fodder for memes. As his party heads for a massive victory in Punjab, an old video of the Aam Aadmi Party leader has resurfaced online.
The video appears to have been taken from a comedy show which featured Bhagwant Mann in the role of a student who expresses his wish to become an MLA or a "mantri" (minister) some day. Strangely fitting, the Internet thought, at a time when Mr Mann is actually on the path to becoming the chief minister of Punjab.
In the clip, Bhagwant Mann stars as a student whose teacher asks him what he wants to be when he grows up. "If I get enough education, I can become an officer. If not, I can become an MLA or a minister," he replies in Punjabi. The video then cuts to present-day photos of Mr Mann as a politician, with one picture showing him with party leader Arvind Kejriwal.

A young boy, who had gained prominence as "baby mufflerman" after the 2020 Delhi polls by dressing up as Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, is back in the limelight. Following the party's landslide victory in Punjab, he went for an "all-in-one" look - he sported a turban and a moustache to resemble the state's chief ministerial candidate, Bhagwant Mann, along with the signature Kejriwal muffler.
Celebrating outside the AAP headquarters in Delhi, the boy dressed in a v-neck maroon sweater and wrapped a muffler around his neck. He even put on spectacles similar to the AAP chief.
The boy's father told NDTV that his whole family supports AAP and they had been to Punjab for 10 days to campaign for the party.
The "baby mufflerman" image had gone viral after the 2020 Delhi election results, which returned Mr Kejriwal and his party to power in the national capital. Even the Twitter handle of the AAP had shared the image at the time, calling him the "mufflerman".

Abhishek Manu Singhvi: Navjot Sidhu is a great orator and has great leadership quality. He will win from his seat and has a big following among the people. But like you said, he might have spoken out of turn.
Abhishek Manu Singhvi: We could not have done this campaign without Navjot Sidhu.
