The Aam Aadmi Party's loss in the Delhi Assembly polls is a setback not just for the party but the entire opposition, and raises questions over its future now that it will only be limited to Punjab, Swaraj India party co-founder and psephologist Yogendra Yadav said on Saturday.
Yadav, one of the founding members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) who was expelled in 2015, said it is also a setback for all the people who dreamt of an alternative form of politics in the country.
As per the latest trends, the BJP is all set to stage a comeback in Delhi after more than 26 years, sweeping the AAP away from the national capital in another big win to extend its saffron footprint in the country.
"This is a setback not just for the AAP but all those who dreamt of an alternative politics in this country 10-12 years ago. It is a setback for all the parties which supported the AAP, and for the entire opposition in the country.
"AAP can say they are just 4-5 per cent behind (the BJP) in terms of vote share but both Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia losing despite all the efforts is a huge setback, which raises questions about the party's future," Yadav told PTI videos.
