Political crisis increases within AAP
News of dissatisfaction within the Aam Aadmi Party is continuously emerging in Punjab. The political crisis deepened when discussions started about seven Rajya Sabha MPs taking a stand different from the party line. The names of Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Swati Maliwal, Harbhajan Singh, Rajinder Gupta, Ashok Mittal and Vikram Sahni are said to be included in these MPs. In a press conference held on Friday, Raghav Chadha claimed that almost two-thirds of AAP MPs in the Rajya Sabha are ready to join him. He called it a sign of growing discontent against the party leadership. If this claim proves true, it will be considered a big political blow for former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.
Harbhajan Singh’s silence became a topic of discussion
Till now no official statement has come from Harbhajan Singh on this entire incident. Neither has he reacted to the speculations about leaving AAP nor has he said anything publicly about the removal of security. His silence has given further fuel to political discussions. Harbhajan Singh, known for his aggressive style on the cricket field, is now seen in the center on the political pitch as well.
Keep an eye on both security and politics
Experts believe that removing the security of a Rajya Sabha MP is not only considered an administrative decision, but political implications are also taken out of it. In such a situation, this step of the Punjab government and the immediate provision of CRPF security by the Centre, both incidents can indicate major political changes in the coming days. At present, everyone’s eyes are on the next step of Harbhajan Singh, will he continue in AAP or is a new chapter going to start in the politics of Punjab, the answer to this will become clear in the coming days.
