BJP's senior party leader, who lost to Congress' Amarinder Singh in Amritsar said he does not subscribe to the theory of Shiromani Akali Dal working against them.
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Arun Jaitley on Saturday said that his loss in Amritsar was nothing in front of his party's overall landslide victory in the Lok Sabha elections. "One would have always preferred to win. But my own personal experience dilutes as compared to the huge win of the party," said Jaitley, who lost the Amritsar seat against Congress's Captain Amarinder Singh.

When asked by IBN18 Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai as to whether the Shiromani Akali Dal was responsible for his loss in Amritsar, Jaitley said, "I cannot attribute my loss to the Akali Dal. Local factors had gone against us. We could not remove them during the campaign."
When asked whether not winning makes it difficult for him to get a Cabinet berth in the Narendra Modi government, he said that the party will decide what his job will be. "Losing an election is not a very pleasant experience. My loss is an irrelevant consideration for me. I will not be cowed down just because I lost the election. What I have to do for the party is for the party to decide," Jaitley said.
Jaitley also denied any differences in the party. "Some media reports have been unfair to my senior colleagues. They have participated in the campaign and won. There is no disgruntlement among party leaders," Jaitley said.
But at the same time when asked whether this was the most memorable election for him, Jaitley said, "The happiest moment in my political life was 1977 when we won the elections and saved the democracy."
Talking about exit polls and whether the BJP had expected the landslide win, Jaitley said, "Exit polls have lately been directionally correct but have underestimated the frontrunner. It happened with the Congress in 2009 and this time with us as well. There was a huge anti-incumbency trend and a positive message of hope in the shape of Modi and Modi-led BJP. We too had expected to win about 250 seats for us, but the frontrunner party gets an advantage," Jaitley said.
