Zero in Himachal Pradesh and fewer than 10 seats in Gujarat — these numbers for the AAP don't really stack up against the claims it made. But they work in the larger plan of Arvind Kejriwal's party as the vote share is enough to give it 'national party' status.
"Now it will be Narendra Modi versus Arvind Kejriwal in 2024 Lok Sabha polls," party leader Sanjay Singh said, touting the 'status'. "It's an achievement to even be recognised as a national party in just 10 years," he added, "AAP is the the fastest growing political party in India."
