Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, the President of the Punjab Congress, asserted that the results of the recent municipal elections should not be viewed as indicative of the upcoming Assembly elections. He pointed out that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) did not perform as well as expected, despite winning a majority of seats.
