Has Kejriwal ruled out RS to focus on strengthening AAP?
After recent victories in Punjab and Gujarat by-poll, AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal appears reinvigorated. It was initially speculated that he might enter the Rajya Sabha following the Gujarat win, but Kejriwal has ruled out this. Instead, he plans to stay focused on expanding the AAP’s presence across states. By avoiding a parliamentary role, is Kejriwal aiming to stay active on the ground, engaging directly with people and leading grassroots efforts to strengthen the party nationwide.
