Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal lost the election. For the fourth time, he could not win the election from New Delhi assembly seat. With Kejriwal’s defeat, Aam Aadmi Party also suffered a crushing defeat in the Delhi assembly elections. Now speculations are going on in the corridors of media about Kejriwal’s political journey. Meanwhile, senior Punjab Congress leader and MLA Pratap Singh Bajwa has claimed that Kejriwal can go to Rajya Sabha via Punjab.
Kejriwal in place of Sanjeev Arora – Bajwa
While talking to the media in Chandigarh on Tuesday, the Congress MLA claimed that Kejriwal can go to Rajya Sabha in place of Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora. Arora can be fielded in state politics in the by-election to be held here due to the death of MLA Gurpreet Gogi from Ludhiana West assembly seat.
What did Aam Aadmi Party say?
However, such news has been rejected by the spokespersons and ministers of Punjab Aam Aadmi Party. ‘AAP’ Punjab is saying that this is just a rumour, nothing more than that. There has been no discussion on this in the Aam Aadmi Party. Opposition leaders cannot raise public issues in the assembly. That is why they are spreading such rumours.
Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said, “No such discussion has taken place within the party and the opposition is spreading such things because they do not have an issue.”
What did the BJP say?
At the same time, BJP and other parties claim that Kejriwal wants to take the command of Punjab in his hands after losing the Delhi elections. He wants to remove Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and sit on the Chief Minister’s chair himself.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said in the Assembly on Tuesday that the opponents in Punjab never raised Punjab’s issues in front of the central government. They have no work other than talking baseless things about us. They always keep thinking about removing me from the Chief Minister’s chair.
