PUNJAB ELECTION RESULT
In a major setback for the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stormed to power in Punjab with a landslide 92 seats in the 117-member state Assembly, paving the way for Bhagwant Mann to take over as the next chief minister.
The ruling Congress was thoroughly outclassed by the AAP and managed to bag only 18 seats, a reversal from the 77 seats it won in the 2017 Punjab Assembly polls.
Bhagwant Mann met the Governor and staked a claim to form the government in Punjab on Saturday. He will take oath as chief minister on March 16.
