The Aam Aadmi Party's National Convenor and Delhi's former Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, might soon find his path leading to Rajya Sabha. Speculative whispers suggest his possible journey to Rajya Sabha via Punjab is on the cards. However, the party has firmly dismissed any such speculation through an official statement.
The AAP has strategically chosen Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora as their torchbearer for the Ludhiana West Assembly by-election. This decision stirs conversations about the possibility of Kejriwal moving towards the Rajya Sabha. Yet, the party asserts that Kejriwal's agenda does not include entering the Rajya Sabha.
Election dates remain under wraps, yet the AAP has been ahead of the curve, announcing its candidate promptly. With Punjab's assembly by-election aligning with Bihar's elections, November seems poised for intense electoral activity.
Consequently, speculation bubbles that a victorious Arora might relinquish his seat for Kejriwal to pave his parliamentary journey. Arora's resignation from his Rajya Sabha position hinges on by-election outcomes. Thus, clarity may emerge post-November as Punjab's by-election unfolds, deciding Kejriwal's Rajya Sabha ambitions.
Meanwhile, Central Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu seized the moment to jab at Kejriwal. Bittu questioned Arora's sudden candidacy in Ludhiana West and speculated if Kejriwal plots his Rajya Sabha ascendance. Bittu further questioned Kejriwal's quest for official quarters in Delhi, accusing political maneuvers for maintaining dominance, overshadowed by boundless ambition.
Bittu asked, 'Why is AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora contesting Ludhiana West bypoll? Is
orchestrating his own Rajya Sabha entry? Is he longing for a government residence in Delhi? The extent of ambition knows no bounds...
Earlier, discussions hinted Kejriwal's potential Rajya Sabha entry from Punjab, but the party was clear in refuting such rumors formally.
