The Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday celebrated the party's landmark victory in Jammu and Kashmir, as the AAP candidate, Mehraj Malik, secured a resounding victory in the Doda assembly constituency of Jammu and Kashmir. The party said that the victory not only expands AAP’s influence into its fifth state—joining Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, and Goa—but also signals a significant shift in the region’s political landscape.
AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal also talked to Malik via video call, praising him for his campaign against the BJP. During the call, AAP Kejriwal said that the AAP workers in the whole country are very happy that Jammu and Kashmir has become the fifth state where AAP has an MLA. Your (Mehraj Malik) work is also commendable. When you met last time, you were doing a very good job. People are with you.
AAP leader Manish Sisodia posted on his ‘X’ handle: “Many congratulations, Mehraj Malik. With your victory, the Aam Aadmi Party has now entered the assemblies of five states. Many congratulations also to Imran Hussain, the in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir.”
