Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Aam Aadmi Party.

  • The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won the Jalandhar Lok Sabha by-poll election held in May 2023. AAP candidate Sushil Rinku secured victory, defeating his main rivals from the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).
  • This poll was conducted due to the death of the sitting Congress MP, Santokh Singh Chaudhary. The win was seen as a significant boost for the AAP in Punjab, as it strengthened the party’s political presence in the state, which it already governs.
  • Sushil Rinku's victory marked an important milestone for AAP in national politics.
