Senior AAP leaders on Friday pledged that they would work harder for the next general election following their discussion of the poll debacle in Lok Sabha 2024 elections as the party secured just three seats in Punjab out of the 22 contested.

Despite an alliance with the Congress in Delhi, it lost all the four seats it contested at the hands of the BJP. "AAP definitely got fewer seats than expected, but the game is not over yet. We will come with new energy in the next election," AAP General Secretary (organisation) Sandeep Pathak said.

He said that the decision of the people of Delhi was a top priority for the party and acknowledged that "there must have been some shortcomings in our hard work" while pledging to work harder to win next time.

Pathak said Assembly elections in Haryana and Delhi and by-elections in Punjab were the next goals of the party. AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said that the top party leaders, including national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Satyender Jain, were put behind bars. "If we wanted, we could have negotiated with them, but we have come to politics to work for people as leaders, not to become dealers," Singh asserted.

Delhi AAP Convener Gopal Rai said the INDIA bloc fought on seven seats in the national capital in adverse conditions yet managed to raise its vote percentage. The AAP-Congress alliance, with a four-three seat sharing formula in place, lost against BJP candidates in all seven constituencies despite partially succeeding in preventing a vote split.
