Bhagwant Mann asserts AAP's victory on all 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab

• Bhagwant Mann of AAP predicts a sweeping victory on all 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab for the 2024 elections
• AAP and Congress, despite recent collaboration in Chandigarh, are yet to finalize a broader seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming elections
• The political dynamics in Punjab have shifted significantly, with AAP now in power, challenging the traditional dominance of Congress in the state

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann expressed confidence on Wednesday, stating that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is poised to secure victory on all 13 Lok Sabha seats in the state during the 2024 elections. "It will be 13-0 (in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections). The AAP will win all the 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab," Mann said today.

The statement comes amidst ongoing discussions between senior leaders of AAP and Congress regarding seat-sharing in Punjab and Delhi. While the AAP and Congress have recently reached an agreement to jointly contest the mayoral post in Chandigarh, Mann's declaration suggests that discussions on broader seat distribution are still in progress.

The Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress are bitter rivals in the two states. It was the AAP that dislodged the Congress from power in both states.The Chandigarh agreement is being seen as the first concrete steps taken by the two parties towards a larger partnership in Punjab.
