Delhi News: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which came into existence in the year 2012 after the Anna movement, has traveled a surprising political journey in Delhi and Punjab in the last 11 years. After winning three consecutive assembly elections in Delhi, the party managed to form its government with a thumping majority in its second attempt in Punjab. Under the leadership of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, it managed to achieve the status of a national party in the election history of less than a decade. In terms of political status, AAP is the third largest political party in the country at present after BJP and Congress. Included in the country’s six national parties.
Apart from this, in the year 2022 gujarat assembly election I also contested on 181 seats and managed to win five seats. The party has two MLAs in Goa. It is also true that in the UP, Himachal and Karnataka assembly elections, the party entered the political fray and its performance was disappointing. In Karnataka and UP, the deposits of the candidates were forfeited on all the seats. In Himachal Pradesh, 23 candidates of AAP who contested in 67 out of 68 seats got less votes than NOTA. Now the Aam Aadmi Party is preparing to contest the proposed elections in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and other states.
Due to the excellent political performance on its own, Aam Aadmi Party has become a relevant party in the country at present. However, in its 11-year history, the party has also lost many of its important leaders. The biggest irony of the party that came into existence from the Anna movement is that today Anna himself is angry with the functioning of Kejriwal’s party and his government. Due to the working style of Arvind Kejriwal, many important leaders including Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Professor Anand Kumar, Ashutosh, Kumar Vishwas, Kapil Mishra, Ashish Khaitan, Ajit Jha have left the party. All these are the names who were important for the party and were among the founding members of the party. Due to the separation of these leaders, the image of the party has also been dented to a great extent.
Despite this, the discussion about the political stature and image of the party is at its peak. This discussion takes place on many levels. First of all, what is your ideology, whether the party has become a permanent image or not, whether the party will be able to continue its political performance or not, Arvind Kejriwal’s party TMC, NCP, SP, BSP, RJD, Shiv Sena, AIADMK, DMK, Will it go ahead of parties like BSP, SP, SAD or else it will be entangled in possible political storms. The biggest challenge before AAP is also that it will be able to stand in front of BJP and Congress.
Another challenge before AAP is that the names of its leaders and ministers have been included in the list of corrupt leaders. Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, two strong ministers of AAP and important allies of CM Kejriwal, are lodged in Tihar Jail. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann A few days after the formation of the government, the former health minister was shown the way out of the cabinet on charges of corruption. Serious allegations have been leveled against another minister of the Punjab government. This allegation is going to shake your very roots. This is because the emergence of AAP as a political party was against corruption. In such a situation, if the leaders of AAP continue to indulge in the same, then the performance of the party can also be detracked during the coming years. However, it is too early to say anything about the stability of the Aam Aadmi Party. Despite this, if you have succeeded in becoming a central subject in Indian politics, then it can only be taken as an achievement.
