Caught in a multi-cornered contest, AAP came under attack from biggies like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi and Sukhbir Badal during the campaign. Deflecting claims of his alleged association with separatists, Kejriwal had quipped, “I will be perhaps the world’s sweetest terrorist, building hospitals and schools ...”. The approach struck a chord with the citizens who grounded many veterans, including CM Charanjit Singh Channi, to hand it an massive victory.
