Addressing a press conference here, the AAP Rajya Sabha member said the victory was a "clear demonstration of the Operation Lotus strategy" that the BJP has been following for the last decade.

He said this victory was just the initial phase, reflecting his apprehension about the political maneuverings of the BJP.

Sanjay Singh's comments came after the BJP emerged victorious from Surat Sagar following the withdrawal and disqualification of several opposition candidates.

The AAP leader further said that citizens should understand the importance of participating in elections. He stressed that the recent win without a contest in Surat indicates a disturbing trend.
