With Arvind Kejriwal in ED's custody, top AAP leaders' responsibilities likely to grow
AAP leaders, including its national organisation secretary Sandeep Pathak, Punjab Chief minister Bhagwant Mann and Delhi ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj, are likely to grow within the party after its supremo Arvind Kejriwal's arrest weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
The prospect of the Delhi chief minister's wife, Sunita Kejriwal, who has so far maintained a distance from politics, assuming a new role is also being discussed by people.
In a post on X, Sunita Kejriwal said on Friday that her husband always stood with the people of Delhi and his arrest was a betrayal with them.
«Modiji, in the arrogance of power, got your three-time chief minister arrested. Trying to crush everyone. This is a betrayal with the people of Delhi. Your chief minister always stood with you. Inside or outside, his life is dedicated to the country. The public is supreme and they know everything. Jai Hind,» the former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer said.
Mann said he will attend the next meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA).
«I have been to these meetings along with Kejriwal in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Patna,» the Punjab chief minister said while talking to reporters.
Apart from Mann, Atishi, Bharadwaj and Pathak were also closely associated with the deliberations between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress over seat sharing for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The AAP and Congress, both INDIA bloc constituents, have arrived at a seat-sharing agreement in Delhi, Gujarat and Haryana.
