AAP candidate Sanjeev Arora thanked the public and party leadership following his win from the Ludhiana West assembly bypolls on Monday. Sanjeev Arora secured victory in the Ludhiana West (Punjab) Assembly by-election with a margin of 10,637 votes, receiving 35,179 votes.
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora said, "I express my gratitude to all the citizens of Ludhiana and also thank all the volunteers, counsellors, MLAs, ministers, leaders, and especially our Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and party supremo Arvind Kejriwal."
Sanjeev Arora’s wife, Sandhya Arora, said, "I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everybody for supporting Sanjeev Arora. He is a man of development and will fulfil all the promises."
After Arora's massive win, party workers celebrated and distributed sweets in Chandigarh.
Meanwhile, after Sanjeev Arora won the Ludhiana West assembly bypoll, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal was asked about his plans to go to the Rajya Sabha.
"I am not going to the Rajya Sabha. Party's Political Affairs Committee will decide who will go to the Rajya Sabha," said Kejriwal. Responding to the AAP candidate's victory in the Ludhiana bypoll, Punjab Minister Balbir Singh said, "It is a big day for Aam Aadmi Party. We have registered impressive wins both here and in Gujarat. This is happening because people like Arvind Kejriwal's ideology....Party's senior leadership will decide (on appointing Sanjeev Arora as a Cabinet minister)."
Punjab Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said, "I would like to thank all voters in Ludhiana for the Ludhiana victory. Congratulations to all leaders of party, national convener Arvind Kejriwal, CM Bhagwant Mann, Sanjeev Arora and all workers of party. This is a victory of the party, of the government, of our work, of our policies...I think in the time to come, AAP will form a government in Punjab in 2027 again..."
Punjab AAP in-charge, Manish Sisodia, said, "This is a matter of great joy for every worker of AAP that the party has won two seats in the by-elections. Both seats are very important...This boosts the morale of AAP workers in Punjab. The people of Punjab have given their stamp of approval for the work done by the Bhagwant Mann government. They are happy with the work being done. It was being discussed in Punjab that these are semi-finals. We have won the semi-final, it is now time for the final. Gujarat too was very important for us. Gopal Italia is a sharp leader, to raise the issues of Gujarat and raise the voices of all those people whose voices were always suppressed - he will emerge as a strong voice..."
The Ludhiana (west) Assembly seat fell vacant in January after the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi.
AAP fielded Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora from the seat, the Congress has fielded former state minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu, and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has fielded Parupkar Singh Ghumman.
