“We're 'aam aadmi but when 'Aam Aadmi' rises mightiest of thrones shake. Today's an imp day in India's history, not only because AAP is winning one more state but because it has become a national force. AAP will become Congress' replacement,” said Chadha.

So far, AAP is leading in 86 seats out 0f 117 in Punjab and is likely to form a majority government.

Meanwhile, Navjot Singh Sidhu trailing at second place, SAD's Bikram Majithia at third place, in the second round of counting, as per the Election Commission.
