Chandigarh, March 10: Rising from the ashes like the phoenix, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on March 10, in a maiden emphatic win, crushed the traditional players that ruled the border state of Punjab for over seven decades with a stunning victory largely by its greenhorns on 92 of the 117 seats of the legislative assembly.
