Gung-Ho in Gujarat, Half-Hearted in Himachal? AAP May be Losing Steam in Battle for the Hills

News 18  

With barely a couple of months left for the Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party campaign seems to have lost some steam in the hill state, with the party’s senior leadership seemingly more focussed on the electoral contest with the BJP in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state. After its stupendous run in the Punjab elections, the AAP had accelerated its campaign in Himachal Pradesh with not just rallies by senior leaders, but packed roadshows by party supremo and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Despite the AAP leadership asserting that the entire top brass is focussing on Himachal as well, events subsequently indicate that Gujarat ranks higher on priority for it. Also, Gujarat elections seem to be far more critical and prestigious for the party than the political and strategically smaller Himachal Pradesh,” commented an observer.
