Kejriwal for Rajya Sabha? BJP fires back as AAP picks Sanjeev Arora for bypoll
AAP named Sanjiv Arora as its Ludhiana West bypoll candidate, triggering speculation about Arvind Kejriwal’s Rajya Sabha entry. Arora, a Rajya Sabha MP since 2022, may vacate his seat if he wins. The BJP accused Kejriwal of seeking power and privileges after his Delhi election defeat.
Amit Malviya questioned if AAP promised Arora a ministerial post in exchange. Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa claimed Kejriwal initially considered contesting Gurpreet Gogi’s vacant seat but backed out over backlash fears. With the 2027 Punjab elections ahead, Kejriwal aims to strengthen his party’s position in the state.
