Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced on Thursday that Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, will pay obeisance at the revered Durgiana Mandir in Amritsar.
After a hiatus of a few months, the long-running conflict in Punjab between the Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and Governor Banwarilal Purohit seems to have got reignited, with President Droupadi Murmu declining to clear a Punjab government Bill seeking the removal of the Governor as the Chancellor of the state-run universities.
An Akali Dal candidate in the morning, an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader soon afterwards, and back in the Akali Dal by evening. For Surjit Kaur, Tuesday was one whirlwind of a back-and-forth journey across the aisle as she attempted to negotiate the tricky political terrain ahead of the Jalandhar West Assembly bypoll scheduled on July 10.
After its landslide win in Punjab in the 2022 Assembly elections, the Lok Sabha polls this year presented the two-year-old Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government led by Bhagwant Mann a reality check as it faltered and managed to win only three parliamentary constituencies with a 26.2% vote share. Two years earlier, it had won 92 of Punjab’s 113 Assembly seats with a 42.01% vote share.
Last week, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal condemned the extension of Amritpal Singh’s detention under the National Security Act (NSA) by one year. The radical preacher Amritpal recently won the Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat as an Independent while being in Dibrugarh jail in Assam.
The blazing sun has set but the heat lingers in the summer evening. In the Muslim-majority Dugni village of Dhuri in Sangrur district, Parveen Begum, the wife of the sarpanch, is busy arranging flower petals and garlands. The flag of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) flutters outside the house.
The scene in Satoj is like any other. The road to the village awaits repair, a self-help group’s building is under construction, the local pond is as dry as a bone, and the tree guards around the pond do not have trees. Only as a posse of police personnel guarding a house come into sight does one realise it is not a village but the home of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal has called a meeting of senior party leaders as well as all Delhi party MLAs Sunday to discuss the party’s strategy for the Lok Sabha polls in the national capital. The meeting will be held at Kejriwal’s residence in Civil Lines.
