Chandigarh, September 22 . The activity of political parties has increased in the electoral state of Haryana. A few months ago, it was considered a direct contest between the ruling party of the state BJP and the main opposition party Congress, but the activity of Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘Aam Aadmi Party’ has given a triangular turn to the contest.
Recently, the Supreme Court granted bail to Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal with some conditions in the so-called liquor policy scam case. A few days ago, another veteran leader of the party Manish Sisodia also got bail. Arvind Kejriwal took many big steps as soon as he came out of jail. Resigning from the post of Chief Minister of Delhi and doing a grand road show in the electoral state Haryana were part of the same electoral step. During the road show on September 20, Kejriwal made such a statement, which has become a topic of discussion among all the political parties contesting elections in Haryana.
In fact, Arvind Kejriwal started his election campaign by doing a road show in Haryana on Friday. During this, he said that no government will be formed in the state without the ‘Aam Aadmi Party’. Due to the bail granted to two big leaders of the party from jail, there was already enthusiasm and excitement among the ‘AAP’ workers, while this statement of his has added fuel to the enthusiasm of the party supporters.
While till a few days ago, there were speculations about the alliance of ‘AAP’ with Congress, now it has become clear that both the parties will contest the elections separately here. No government will be formed in Haryana without the support of ‘AAP’, many meanings are being drawn from this statement of Kejriwal.
The first meaning of Kejriwal’s statement is that the ruling party ‘AAP’ of the national capital Delhi and Punjab is now very serious about its expansion in the third state Haryana. However, the party’s performance was quite disappointing last time and it got less than one percent votes in the 2019 assembly elections, but if this time the party manages to increase its vote percentage and increases it to four to five percent and manages to win seven to eight seats, then the party will come into the role of kingmaker in the state with 90 assembly seats.
Any party needs 46 seats for majority in Haryana and in such a situation, if a third party gets five or more seats, then it can play a very important role in toppling or forming a government. However, the strategy of Aam Aadmi Party regarding Haryana clearly shows that the party is vocal against BJP and Prime Minister Modi, while it is silent about Congress. On the other hand, in the alliance formed for the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, Congress and AAP were part of the same opposition alliance India. In such a situation, there is still a strong possibility of both the parties coming together after the election results.
