February 10, 2015 17:56

Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said AAP's victory in Delhi Assembly polls will not impact Punjab politics.

"Despite the fact that AAP managed to form a government in Delhi in 2013, everyone knew well what happened later.

"AAP's victory was confined only to national capital and subsequently these political developments would not have impending repercussions on Punjab politics," the CM said.

However, Badal said the Shiromani Akali Dal will introspect over the factors responsible for its defeat in Delhi at party's platform.

To a question on whether AAP will be contesting te 2017 Assembly elections in Punjab, the CM said, "In the Indian democratic system, all political parties have the right and are at liberty to contest these elections."
