India will be "BJP Mukt" in the year 2019, the Aam Aadmi Party claimed Tuesday, as assembly election trends indicated that the saffron party was trailing in two of the three states it ruled.
The Bharatiya Janata Party was behind its main rival Congress in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh; it was locked in a close contest with the opposition party in Madhya Pradesh, according to latest trends.
Lok Sabha elections are due next year and the assembly polls were billed as a semi-final before the general elections.
"2019 will be BJP Mukt Bharat (BJP-free India)," senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh told PTI. "The results of assembly polls indicate that people are fed up with jumla (rhetoric)."
