The Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) got a major setback after the Party leaders including Party President, General Secretary and District Chief quit the AAP.
On the 8th of April, the AAP President in H.P., Mr. Anup Kesari, the GS Mr. Satish Thakur and Una district Chief Mr. Iqbal Singh quit the AAP and joined the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP.) The leaders joined the BJP in the presence of the BJP National President Mr. J.P. Nadda and BJP leader Mr. Anurag Thakur.
As per sources, Mr. Anurag Thakur is said to be behind this defection of virtually the whole AAP local unit to the saffron camp.
Furthermore, Mr. Anup Kesari said, “During the roadshow in Mandi, except CM Kejriwal and CM Mann, no one was allowed on the vehicle. No leader was given a place on the rath (vehicle.) It was an insult to the karyakartas (workers) and we are very proud of ourselves and can’t compromise on our self-respect.” He further said, “We came in touch with Anurag Thakur who is ‘aan baan shaan’ of Himachal. We told him that we as workers had been insulted. He told us to do whatever we deemed fit. And that is how we joined the BJP.”
The development in Himachal Pradesh came as a big jolt to the Arvind Kejriwal, who is aiming to establish himself in the poll bound State. It is to be noted, that the elections for 68 assembly constituencies of Himachal Pradesh are slated to take place by the end of this year (2022.)
