AAP set to become national party but it has lessons to learn from Gujarat

AAP is set to become a national party but it has lessons to learn from Gujarat. The results are a mixed bag for AAP. It has secured more than 6% vote share. AAP fulfills the threshold of 2 MLAs to qualify as a state party. After Delhi, Punjab, Goa, AAP is now a state party in Gujarat. AAP sees a battle of Kejriwal vs Modi in 2024. Being a national party for a 10 year old party is a big deal for AAP. Has AAP only grown by decimating the Congress? Can it take on the BJP on its own terms? Congress' loss is AAP's gain. Congress vote share dropped in MCD, AAP won MCD. BJP has improved its vote share in MCD even though got lesser seats than AAP. AAP has not won head-to-head with BJP. AAP wrested MCD from BJP control but comes with a caveat. BJP is still in the race for the mayor's post.
