Over 90 MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Social gathering (AAP) in Punjab, together with chief minister Bhagwant Mann, and the social gathering’s 13 MPs within the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha drove right down to Kapurthala Home in Delhi on Tuesday to fulfill AAP’s nationwide convener Arvind Kejriwal, days after the Delhi debacle. The massive assembly lasted nearly 25 minutes.
This has now triggered hypothesis over Kejriwal’s subsequent transfer and his political future as he’s neither the chief minister, nor an MP, or an MLA. Punjab is the one state the place the AAP is in energy and has a tenure until 2027. So, what are his choices?
Turn into a Rajya Sabha MP
Kejriwal can enter the Rajya Sabha from Punjab. The social gathering has 10 Rajya Sabha MPs, seven from Punjab and three from Delhi. AAP might want to make one in all them resign for Kejriwal’s entry. Nevertheless, AAP can not win again the Rajya Sabha seat if a Delhi Rajya Sabha MP resigns, because it not has the numbers in Delhi. But it surely does have 93 MLAs and three MPs in Punjab and might simply regain a seat from there. AAP’s nationwide common secretary, Sandeep Pathak, is a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab and should make might for Kejriwal’s entry. He has a tenure until 2028, so it would give time to Kejriwal to concentrate on a Delhi election in 2029-30 put up his tenure ending in 2028. This can even give Kejriwal an opportunity to rub shoulders with senior politicians within the Higher Home of Parliament.
Turn into Punjab CM
Although that is an unlikely choice and has been dismissed by senior AAP leaders who say Bhagwant Mann will proceed because the chief minister until 2027, hypothesis is abound given Kejriwal’s curiosity in Punjab’s affairs. There’s an meeting bypoll due within the Ludhiana West seat after an AAP MLA from there handed away final month. Kejriwal can contest from this seat to enter the Punjab meeting and substitute Mann because the CM.
Nevertheless, senior AAP leaders and MPs like Malvinder Singh Kang and Gurmeet Singh advised News18 that nothing of this kind goes to occur and these are pure speculations in media.
Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa advised News18 that Kejriwal can not stay with out energy and he would both strive changing into Punjab CM or a Rajya Sabha MP from the state. “Nevertheless, Punjab doesn’t settle for outsiders,” Randhawa stated. He stated there shall be a mid-term election in Punjab if Kejriwal turns into the chief minister.
Proceed as AAP Nationwide Convener
Another choice for Kejriwal is to focus purely on his social gathering and proceed in his present place as nationwide convener. Some AAP leaders stated that is the most suitable choice because the social gathering wants steering and management like by no means earlier than and work on the organisation and the grassroots. On condition that the social gathering nonetheless has a 43 per cent vote share in Delhi, it might not be politically prudent for Kejriwal to show in the direction of Punjab, a senior AAP chief advised News18. Kejriwal’s authorized troubles may be a hurdle in different roles.
