After the AAP Delhi poll debacle, an attempt is being made by the party to bring Arvind Kejriwal in the politics of Punjab. This big claim has been made newly elected BJP MLA from Rajouri Garden Manjinder Singh Sirsa. Making strong comment on Kejriwal’s meeting with AAP Punjab MLAs, he asserted that Delhi’s former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is attempting to remove Bhagwant Mann from the post of Punjab’s Chief Minister.

“After losing the Delhi elections, Arvind Kejriwal has called a meeting of Punjab MLAs in Delhi. Reports suggest that he is trying to remove Bhagwant Mann Ji from the CM post by labeling him as incompetent,” BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa said.
Sirsa added that Kejriwal failed to fulfill his promise of giving ₹1000 to women in Delhi and was unsuccessful in curbing drug abuse.
Sirsa, newly elected MLA of BJP further added that he (Kejriwal) wants to put all his failure on Bhagwant Mann and will make AAP Punjab MLAs say that Kejriwal is a ‘good man’ and should be made Chief Minister instead.
Earlier in the day reports suggested that Arvind Kejriwal is likely to hold a meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, state ministers and MLAs in Delhi on February 11. The AAP sources said that the meeting will discuss the Delhi election results and preparations for the upcoming Punjab elections in 2027. For this meeting, the cabinet meeting of Punjab was also pushed further to February 13.
BJP’s allegation of a power shift in Punjab has come after AAP suffered a massive setback, securing only 22 seats while the BJP won a historic mandate on February 8 in Delhi.
