AAP’s entry in national politics after 2020
Now Kejriwal’s stature will increase
After the second bumper victory of the Delhi Assembly in 2020, it was believed that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal would now enter national politics. He also met several opposition leaders. When it came to leadership there, the names of leaders like Mamata Banerjee or Sharad Pawar would come to the fore. AAP convener Kejriwal understood this very well. When he showed activism for Punjab elections, there were such reactions from BJP leaders that he wants to leave Delhi and become the CM of Punjab. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu, Karnataka Chief Minister Kumaraswamy and Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan had reached Kejriwal’s residence when Kejriwal and his cabinet sat on dharna at the LG residence for several days. After this, when things became normal, Kejriwal could not get a special place among the opposition parties. From here Kejriwal changed his strategy.
All these things have given the message to Kejriwal that now is not the right time to step into national politics. He started paying attention to the expansion of the party. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the kind of haste that he had fielded his candidates on four hundred seats, he did not take that step now. He paid attention to your detail. The falling graph of Congress was well cashed by the Aam Aadmi Party. The massive success of AAP in Punjab is a great example of this. After the formation of the government in Punjab, now Kejriwal can focus on national politics.
Political experts said about Kejriwal, India’s democratic system is very complex. Many people have differing opinions. It will not take long for Kejriwal to become the face of national politics. They keep a different platform of politics in front of the people. People listen to him. He is made a part of the political debate. After Delhi, Kejriwal’s stature in national politics is set to increase after AAP’s thumping majority in Punjab.
Kejriwal can become the face of third front
Prashant Kishor, who is called Chanakya of today’s politics, has been very active since last year. Prashant Kishor had given full support to Kejriwal in the Delhi Assembly elections. In this election, Prashant Kishor’s company iPAC had prepared a strategy for AAP. While BJP was raising issues like Ram Mandir and Article 370 in the elections, Kejriwal kept talking on water, electricity, mohalla clinics and schools. Prashant Kishor kept him away from BJP’s ‘Hindutva’ game. When Prashant or any other leader is asked about the Third Front in the country, he refuses to do anything like this, but last year there were many such meetings. NCP leader Sharad Pawar had discussed with many opposition leaders in the name of meeting of Rashtra Manch. Rashtra Manch is the organization which was formed by Yashwant Sinha on 30 January 2018 against the Modi government. Kejriwal had sent his representative to these meetings. After these meetings, some such statements came out that Prashant Kishor is trying to make Mamata Banerjee the face of the Third Front. Sharad Pawar will be given the role of convener of the Third Front. Here too Kejriwal was kept away from any big responsibility. After the victory of Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab, now his role will increase.
you are expanding your fast
Political expert and former JNU professor. According to Anand Kumar, Kejriwal can become a big face in the coming times. Although it is not that easy either. It is necessary that now a generation of leaders in almost all parties is on retirement. It is not only about Sharad Pawar or Chandrababu Naidu, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar will also be able to become the face of the opposition or the Third Front, there is doubt about it. It is difficult to say whether the so-called Third Front or the opposition will be able to accept him for the commotion he has with the BJP. Leaders like Telangana CM KCR and Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray are also confined to their states. Except for the Congress party, in such a situation, Arvind Kejriwal is the only leader whose party is expanding rapidly. Kejriwal’s role will be tested in the coming few months. Presidential elections are to be held in July-August.
On the other hand, the CM of Telangana wants that a third front should be created in the country. A front that can give a tough competition to the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. KCR’s thinking is that the Third Front will be a coalition of non-BJP and non-Congress parties. Parties like TMC, RJD, SP, AAP, Shiv Sena and NCP will play a big role in this. Now the election results of Punjab have increased the political stature of Arvind Kejriwal. AAP’s Delhi MLA and party’s co-in-charge in Punjab Raghav Chadha has made it clear that the Aam Aadmi Party has now become a national force. Aam Aadmi Party will replace Congress in national politics.
