After Delhi debacle, future tense for AAP in Punjab

Hindustan Times  

The rout of the Aam Aadmi Party and the added ignominy of top leaders, national convener Arvind Kejriwal and former deputy CM Manish Sisodia losing their seats in the state assembly polls in Delhi is a double blow for the party in Punjab, the only other state where it is in power. The results also put a question mark on the electoral effectiveness of their ‘Delhi model’ that has been the fulcrum of governance of the Bhagwant Mann-led AAP rule over the past three years. In bureaucratic circles also, there is a growing feeling that the AAP national convener and other top leaders may attempt to micromanage affairs in Punjab, given the party’s increased electoral stakes in the state following Saturday’s results. However, Jagrup Singh Sekhon, political analyst and former head of the political science department at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, sees tough times ahead for the Mann government in the state due to severe financial crisis and governance challenges, besides increased internal dissensions between different power centres in the party.
