NEW DELHI, March 10 (Reuters) – An upstart political party that rules India’s capital has swept an election in Punjab state, a Thursday vote-count showed, bolstering its hopes of becoming the main challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, was leading in 91 out of 117 seats in the northern state and looked set to beat the state’s incumbent Congress party, the BJP and a regional party by a wide margin, according to Election Commission data.
