Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is meeting with Punjab’s Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and other party members in Delhi on Tuesday. This meeting comes after AAP faced a big loss in the recent Delhi elections, where they only won 22 out of 70 seats, while the BJP won 48 seats. Many people are feeling uncertain about AAP, especially in Punjab, where some Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) seem unhappy with the party’s leadership.
Malvinder Singh Kang, an AAP member of Parliament, said the meeting is just a regular strategy discussion, not an emergency. He explained that feedback from each unit helps the party plan for the future. They will look at the Delhi election results and plan for the next Punjab elections in 2027.
Even though AAP did very well in Punjab in 2022 by winning 92 out of 117 seats, there are worries that the party might not be as strong now. Some rumors suggest that AAP leaders from Delhi are still making too many decisions for Punjab. There is even talk that Kejriwal might want to play a bigger role in Punjab politics, especially with a vacant assembly seat in Ludhiana.
If Kejriwal decides to run for that seat, it could change things. The recent defeat in Delhi has raised concerns about AAP’s future, leading some opposition leaders to predict trouble for AAP in Punjab as well, especially since only three of AAP’s 13 candidates won in the Lok Sabha elections.
The results of Tuesday’s meeting are important for the party’s next steps and its stability in Punjab, which is the only state where AAP is currently in power.
