The AAP has promised to bring reforms in the state where the Congress faced a crushing defeat, winning just 18 seats. The AAP's tally is said to be the highest that any party has managed in the state in a very long time. Five-time chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, the Congress's Charanjit Singh Channi and Navjot Singh Sidhu were among the political heavyweights who were defeated by AAP candidates in the state elections this year. The Congress is said to have suffered due to the constant infighting, which also led to the shock exit of Amarinder Singh.
