The Aam Aadmi Party, in its second attempt, swept the assembly polls in Punjab, winning 92 seats of the 117 Assembly seats. The poll outcome saw many prominent politicians, including outgoing Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Akali Dal leaders losing their seats to lesser-known candidates, mostly from the Aam Aadmi Party.
Among the giant killers is 35-year-old Labh Singh Ugoke, a village mobile repair shop owner who defeated the incumbent Punjab Chief Minister from the Bhadaur Assembly constituency.
Speaking to NDTV, Mr Ugoke said he was confident of defeating from the seat. Mr Channi, he said, had lost connect with the voters in the consitituency.
"Channi was never an aam aadmi. He did not work for the people when he was made the chief minister, hence people used the jaddu and moved him out," Mr Ugoke, who defeated Mr Channi by 37,558 votes, said.
