AAP Denies Speculation of Arvind Kejriwal Entering Rajya Sabha from Punjab

Reports suggest AAP MP Sanjeev Arora’s bypoll candidacy could open a Rajya Sabha seat, but the party insists Kejriwal remains focused on national expansion.

AAP announced Sanjeev Arora, a sitting Rajya Sabha MP, as its candidate for the Ludhiana West assembly bypoll following the death of MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi.
Speculation arose that Arora’s potential resignation from the Upper House could pave the way for Arvind Kejriwal to enter the Rajya Sabha from Punjab.
AAP spokespersons firmly denied these claims, emphasizing that Kejriwal is tasked with leading the party’s national expansion and is not tied to any single seat.
Kejriwal recently faced a significant electoral defeat in Delhi, losing his New Delhi seat to BJP’s Parvesh Verma in the assembly elections.
Critics, including BJP leaders, questioned the motives behind Arora’s nomination, suggesting it may be a strategic move to accommodate Kejriwal, which AAP has categorically denied.
