Vital boost for AAP ahead of assembly polls in Delhi, Hry

Hindustan Times  

The bail granted to former Delhi deputy chief minister and senior Aam Aadmi Party leader could not have come at a better time and will act as a major shot in the arm for the party for two principal reasons, AAP leaders and experts said on Friday. First, Sisodia will likely take over as the tallest figure in the party in the absence of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal; and second, it will allow the party to crank up its preparations under his guidance for the Delhi assembly polls scheduled to be held in the beginning of 2025, the leaders said. “Soon, party leaders will sit to discuss the political situation and decide what role Sisodia will play in strengthening the AAP ahead of the assembly elections in Haryana and Delhi,” the leader said, asking not ton be named. As one of the founding members of AAP, Sisodia is the second most-popular AAP leader after Kejriwal and is expected to play a key role in election strategy formulation and coordination with senior party leadership, a second AAP leader said.
