## General election, 2014

[edit]

Main articles: 2014 Indian general election and 2014 Indian general election in Punjab

The AAP fielded 434 candidates in the 2014 Indian general election, in which it did not expect to do well. It recognised that its support was based primarily in urban areas and that different strategies might be required for different regions of the country. The party pointed out that its funding was limited and that there were too many demands for local visits from Kejriwal. The intention was to field candidates in large numbers to maximise the likelihood of recognition as a national party by the Election Commission.[27][28] The outcome was that four AAP candidates won, all from Punjab.[29] Consequently, the AAP became a recognised state party in Punjab.[30]
