Reacting to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal’s meeting with Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, his Cabinet Ministers and party MLAs, Congress MP Gurjit Singh Aujla on Tuesday said that after AAP’s defeat in Delhi assembly polls, Kejriwal should have called a meeting with party’s Delhi leaders but instead, Punjab MLAs have been called.
“It is his party, he should hold a meeting, but if he is holding a meeting immediately after the defeat then it has a different meaning. He has lost Delhi, so he should call Delhi leaders and brainstorm, but Punjab MLAs have been called…,” he told a news agency.

His remarks came after the AAP chief convened a meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and party ministers and MLAs.
The meeting also comes amid intense speculation about an internal rift within the AAP following its electoral debacle. The party’s tally came down drastically, winning just 22 seats—down from 62 in 2020—while the BJP stormed back to power after 27 years, securing 48 seats.
However, AAP MP Malvinder Kang was quick to dismiss such claims, asserting that the meeting at Kapurthala House was merely a routine gathering to collect feedback from party leaders.
