AAP Restructures Leadership After Delhi Election Defeat

The party names Saurabh Bharadwaj as Delhi chief and Manish Sisodia as Punjab in-charge to rebuild its organization and focus on future challenges.

AAP announced new state-level appointments following its loss to the BJP in the February 2025 Delhi elections.
Saurabh Bharadwaj, a former Delhi minister, will lead the party's Delhi unit, replacing Gopal Rai.
Manish Sisodia, former deputy chief minister, has been appointed as Punjab in-charge, the only state where AAP holds power.
Additional appointments include Gopal Rai for Gujarat, Pankaj Gupta for Goa, Sandeep Pathak for Chhattisgarh, and Mehraj Malik for Jammu and Kashmir.
The leadership overhaul is part of AAP's strategy to rebuild its organizational strength and prepare for upcoming electoral contests.
