Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal had said last month that his party would fight all elections in the next two years in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat. All these states have Assembly polls in 2022 and, barring Punjab, are ruled by the BJP.

What however may spell serious trouble for Congress is the fact that the results of the civic polls are often touted as the semi-final before the 2022 assembly elections. The elections may well see the breaking of Congress veteran Madhavsinh Solanki’s record of 149-seat win by the BJP
There seems to be a pattern emerging among the Congress cadre and leadership after every defeat of their party in Gujarat.
