Reacting to the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) decision in favor of the Eknath Shinde faction on the real 'Shiv Sena', the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday expressed shock and disappointment.

In an attack on the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), the AAP said that under BJP rule, institution after institution has been destroyed and have been reduced to mere 'puppets' and 'rubberstamps'.
