AAP and Kejriwal Face Political Crisis in Punjab and Delhi

Punjab : The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leader Arvind Kejriwal are facing mounting political challenges not just in Delhi but also in Punjab, the only state where the party holds power. The situation has raised concerns about the party’s future as opposition forces in both regions step up their attacks.

In Delhi, AAP is already entangled in legal battles, with Kejriwal and several party leaders facing allegations related to corruption and policy mismanagement. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) and other agencies have intensified their investigations, putting the party in a defensive position.

Meanwhile, in Punjab, where AAP formed its first full-state government in 2022, the party is facing growing dissent, both internally and from the opposition. The Congress, BJP, and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) have been aggressively targeting Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s administration over governance issues, law and order concerns, and financial management.

Political experts believe that AAP’s troubles in Delhi could weaken its influence in Punjab, as the party’s credibility is under scrutiny. Furthermore, Kejriwal’s focus on handling crises in Delhi might impact the party’s performance in Punjab, where local leaders are struggling to maintain their political ground.

With both states becoming battlegrounds, AAP is caught in a tough position. The big question remains—can Kejriwal and his party navigate this “double trouble” and emerge stronger, or will these challenges lead to a major political setback? The coming months will be crucial in determining AAP’s survival and future course in Indian politics.
