	'''Aam Aadmi Party''' ('''AAP'''; {{Translation\|Common Man Party}}) is a political party in India, founded in 2012. It styles itself as an alternative to the mainstream [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) and [[Indian National Congress]] (INC). It currently runs the ~~state~~ government in Delhi, ~~having~~ held a majority in the [[Delhi Legislative Assembly]] since the [[2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly election\|2015 election]], limiting BJP to a few seats and pushing ~~Congress~~ out entirely~~. It retained its supermajority in the [[2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly election\|2020 elections]]~~.		'''Aam Aadmi Party''' ('''AAP'''; {{Translation\|Common Man Party}}) is a political party in India, founded in November 2012 by [[Arvind Kejriwal]] and companions. It styles itself as an alternative to the two predominant, mainstream parties of India—[[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) and [[Indian National Congress]] (INC). AAP currently runs [[Government of Delhi\|the government]] of [[Delhi]], the capital territory of India, headed by Kejriwal as [[List of chief ministers of Delhi\|Chief Minister]]. It has held the majority in the [[Delhi Legislative Assembly]] since the [[2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly election\|2015 election]], limiting BJP to a few seats and pushing INC out entirely.

	~~Formally launched in November 2012,~~ AAP came into existence following differences between activists [[Arvind Kejriwal]] and [[Anna Hazare]] regarding whether or not to politicise the popular [[India Against Corruption]] movement that had been demanding a [[Jan Lokpal Bill]] since 2011. Hazare preferred that the movement should remain politically unaligned, while Kejriwal felt the failure of the agitation route necessitated direct political involvement.

Hazare preferred that the movement should remain politically unaligned, while Kejriwal felt the failure of the agitation route necessitated direct political involvement. The party made its electoral debut in the [[2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly election]] and emerged as second largest party after BJP. AAP made a coalition with INC to form a short-lived government which only lasted 49 days as [[List of current Indian chief ministers\|Chief Minister]] Kejriwal resigned after he could not debut [[Jan Lokpal Bill]] in the assembly. In the [[2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly election\|following elections in 2015]], AAP won 67 of the 70 seats in the assembly, limiting BJP at just 3 seats and INC with none .<ref name="thehindu.com">{{cite news\|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/delhi-elections-on-february-7/article6781169.ece\|title=EC cracks whip as Delhi goes to polls\|work=The Hindu\|date=13 January 2015\|access-date=13 January 2015\|url-status=live\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150113004522/http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/delhi-elections-on-february-7/article6781169.ece\|archive-date=13 January 2015}}</ref> The party, although swept the [[2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly election]] with 62 seats, lost all of [[List of constituencies of the Lok Sabha#Union territories (19)\|the seven parliamentary constituencies in Delhi]] to BJP in the [[2019 Indian general election\|2019 national elections]].<ref>{{Cite news\|url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/delhi-assembly/delhi-assembly-election-results-2020/article30787472.ece\|title=Delhi Assembly election results 2020\|date=11 February 2020\|work=The Hindu\|access-date=12 February 2020}}</ref> AAP has signifcantly expanded its influence to [[Punjab, India\|Punjab]], [[Chandigarh]], and [[Goa]], with [[Member of the Legislative Assembly\|MLAs]] and [[Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha\|MPs]] in the former.
