After the loss of AAP in the elections of the Delhi Assembly, Bajwa said that an internal fight would begin between Punjab Prime Minister Bhagwant Mann, and the head of AAP, Arvind Kejriwal. He also said that more than 30 MLA of AAP were in contact with Congress and were ready to change side.
However, the deputy of the Congress Pramod Tiwari denied that the MLA of AAP were in contact with the BJP or the Congress. He said that Congress does not support to break other parties, but observes the political situation in Punjab.
“BJP has a history of horses’ negotiation parties and breaks: we have seen this in Maharashtra, Goa, Manipur too. They will try to do this in Punjab too. With regard to Congress, we do not believe in breaking the holidays. The state leadership of Our party is to monitor the situation there, “said Tiwari while talking to Ani’s news agency.
Early in the day, Mann arrived in Kapurthala House in New Delhi for a meeting with the national coordinator of AAP, Arvind Kejriwal, amid reports of differences within AAP.
“Our MLA arrived here, and we had a meeting with the national coordinator of the Arvind Kejriwal party. He thanked everyone for campaigning during the Elections of the Delhi assembly. Our government in Punjab has always worked for public welfare, either in education or infrastructure.
AAP, who had ruled Delhi for ten years, won only 22 of 70 seats in the February 5 elections, while the BJP said the majority, ending AAP’s rule in the capital.
It is also speculated that Kejriwal can assume a more important role in Punjab’s policy, with discussions about him disputing the vacant seat of the Ludhiana Assembly. However, the AAP deputy, Malvinder Singh Kang, dismissed these reports, qualifying the meeting a “routine strategy session.”
Meanwhile, BJP leader Rohini Vijender Gupta criticized AAP, saying that the game is fighting after his defeat in Delhi’s elections.
“Kejriwal is making a meeting, but it is a ship that sinks. They are trying to keep their united people … but it won’t last long,” Gupta said.
