New Delhi, June 26: After Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) chief Simranjit Singh Mann won the Sangrur Lok Sabha byelection, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Sunday blamed the downfall in the vote share of other political parties including Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal and the BJP behind his party's loss in Sangrur bypoll. Others' loss became the gain of winning candidate Simranjit Mann, he added. Chadha, who was instrumental in AAP's landslide victory in Punjab Assembly elections held earlier this year, took to Twitter and said though AAP has lost the seat, it retained its vote share with a meagre fall from 37 percent to 35 percent. The byelection was a battle of prestige for both ruling AAP and Bhagwant Mann who represented the Sangrur seat since 2014 and resigned after taking over as the Chief Minister earlier this year.
