"The 3 seats that we have won today out of 4 are the ones that Aam Aadmi Party has never won in the history of Punjab politics till date. When the Punjab Assembly elections were held in 2022, there was a wave of Aam Aadmi Party, there was a tsunami, even in that tsunami, these 3 seats could not be won. But in this poll, we have won these 3 seats," he added. AAP's Gurdeep Singh Randhawa, Ishank Kumar, and Hardeep Singh Dimpy Dhillon won the assembly by-polls in Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal, and Gidderbaha, respectively in Punjab. However, Congress' Kuldeep Singh Dhillon managed to win in Barnala.

In Jharkhand, people have rejected negative politics, politics of revenge. The INDI alliance has won with a huge majority, so I congratulate the people of Jharkhand," he said.
