Run­ning a sus­tained day and night cam­paign af­ter giv­ing up al­co­holism prior to the elec­tions, ace co­me­dian turned politi­cian and AAP party Pun­jab pres­i­dent Bhag­want Mann won the elec­tions from the San­grur con­stituency for the sec­ond time de­feat­ing Ke­wal Singh Dhillon of the Con­gress Party.

Most of the AAP lead­er­ship in Pun­jab de­serted the party and swayed here and there, some form­ing a new party as well, but that did not de­ter Bhag­want Mann from stick­ing to his party and to his down-to-earth cam­paign in his con­stituency San­grur.

Sig­nif­i­cantly, he is the lone vic­tor of the Aam Aadmi Party in the sev­en­teenth par­lia­ment of In­dia as the AAP party has lost elec­tions in all the 7 seats of Delhi.

Bhag­want Singh Mann, with his Bha­gat-Singh style tur­ban, had raised sub­stan­tial is­sues of con­cern in Par­lia­ment in the first term and de­spite ir­ri­tants within the party stood stead­fast with the AAP lead­er­ship.

He also de­feated for­mer fi­nance min­is­ter Par­min­der Singh Dhindsa and for­mer mem­ber of Par­lia­ment from San­grur and Shi­ro­mani Akali Dal Am­rit­sar Pres­i­dent Sim­ran­jit Singh Mann.
