[edit]Delhi Assembly election, 2013
[edit]The 2013 Delhi state assembly elections were the party's first electoral contest. The Election Commission approved the symbol of a broom for use by the AAP in that campaign.[7] The party said that its candidates were honest and had been screened for potential criminal backgrounds.[8] It published its central manifesto on 20 November 2013, promising to implement the Jan Lokpal Bill within 15 days of coming to power.[9]
In November 2013, a sting operation conducted by Media Sarkar alleged that several leaders of the AAP, including Kumar Vishwas and Shazia Ilmi, had agreed to extend their support to some people seeking assistance with land deals and other financial arrangements in return for donations in cash to the AAP.[10] Ilmi offered to withdraw her candidature as a result, but the party refused to accept her offer, describing the footage as fabricated and a violation of the Model Code of Conduct.[11] The Election Commission ordered an inquiry regarding the legitimacy of the video.[12][clarification needed]
The AAP emerged as the second-largest party in Delhi, winning 28 of the 70 Assembly seats; the Bharatiya Janata Party, as the largest party, won 31, while its ally Shiromani Akali Dal, won 1; Indian National Congress won 8, and two were won by others.[13][14] On 28 December 2013, the AAP formed a minority government in the hung Assembly, with what Sheila Dikshit describes as "not unconditional" support from Indian National Congress.[15] Kejriwal became the second-youngest Chief Minister of Delhi.[16] As a result of the Delhi elections, the AAP became a recognised state party in Delhi.[17]
General election, 2014
[edit]The AAP fielded 434 candidates in the 2014 Indian general election, in which it did not expect to do well. It recognised that its support was based primarily in urban areas and that different strategies might be required for different regions of the country. The party pointed out that its funding was limited and that there were too many demands for local visits from Kejriwal. The intention was to field candidates in large numbers to maximise the likelihood of recognition as a national party by the Election Commission.[18][19] The outcome was that four AAP candidates won, all from Punjab.[20] Consequently, the AAP became a recognised state party in Punjab.[21] The party obtained 2% of all votes cast nationwide and 414 of its candidates forfeited their deposit by failing to secure one-sixth of the vote in their constituencies.[22] Although the party secured 32.9 per cent of the votes in Delhi, it failed to win any seats there.[23]
AAP convenor, Arvind Kejriwal fought from Varanasi against BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, but lost by a margin of 371,784 (20.30%) votes and came second ahead of BSP, Congress, SP.[24]
Immediately after the elections, Shazia Ilmi (PAC member) resigned from the party.[25] The National Executive member Yogendra Yadav in a letter to his party members criticised Kejriwal's style of leadership.[26]
After the National Executive meeting on 8 June, the party and Kejriwal acknowledged these differences and announced the launch of "Mission Vistar" (Mission Expand), to include more people in local as well as national decision making.[27]
Delhi Assembly election, 2015
[edit]The Delhi state assembly elections for the Sixth Legislative Assembly of Delhi were held on 7 February 2015, as declared by the Election Commission of India.[28] The Aam Aadmi Party scored a landslide victory by winning a majority of 67 of the 70 seats. The BJP was able to win 3 seats and the Congress party saw all its candidates lose.[29] Kejriwal became the Chief Minister for the second time.[30] The AAP had started campaigning in Delhi in November 2014 and declared candidates for all 70 seats.[31]
During the campaign, Kejriwal claimed that the BJP had been trying to bribe AAP volunteers. He asked Delhi voters to not deny the bribes offered to them. He suggested that voters should accept the bribe from others and yet vote for AAP through the secret ballot in the election.[32] The situation caused the Election Commission of India to instruct Kejriwal to desist from breaking laws governing the model code of conduct for elections in India,[33] but the Delhi court then allowed Kejriwal to challenge this.[34]
The President's Rule was subsequently rescinded and Kejriwal became the Chief Minister of Delhi with six cabinet ministers (Manish Sisodia, Asim Ahmed Khan, Sandeep Kumar, Satyendar Jain, Gopal Rai, and Jitender Singh Tomar).[35]<ref>{{cite news|title=Arvind Kejriwal takes oath as the eighth Chief Minister of Delhi at Ramlila Maidan|newspaper=The Economic Times|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/arvind-kejriwal-takes-oath-as-the-eighth-chief-minister-of-delhi-at-ramlila-maidan/articleshow/46242583.cms%7Caccess-date=14 February 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archi
