Arvind Kejriwal (national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party) criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly undermining democracy in India, particularly in Punjab. He claimed that the BJP's recent electoral success in West Bengal reflects a pattern of electoral manipulation similar to what occurred in his own constituency in New Delhi. Kejriwal warned that if the BJP were to gain power in Punjab, it would lead to the state's devastation. He stressed that the upcoming Punjab elections would be crucial for the Modi government, predicting that it would be their last if they lose Punjab. Kejriwal highlighted a pro-incumbency sentiment towards the current Punjab government, asserting that the administration's work is recognized across villages. He also addressed the recent switch of seven MPs to the BJP, stating that these seats rightfully belong to Punjabis and urged the public to unite against the BJP's encroachment. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann supported Kejriwal's statements and called on President Droupadi Murmu to revoke the memberships of the MPs who switched parties.
