Kejriwal's Gujarat Gambit: AAP Expands Footprint

Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has embarked on a strategic three-day visit to Gujarat. The visit follows the party's triumph in the Visavadar Assembly bypoll, marking a significant step towards AAP's organizational expansion in the BJP-dominated state.

Landing in Ahmedabad, Kejriwal's agenda includes attending party meetings and fostering the 'Gujarat Jodo' membership drive, set to launch on July 2. This initiative signals AAP's determination to enhance its grassroots presence, challenging BJP's longstanding political stronghold over the state.

In recent remarks, Kejriwal praised AAP's electoral resilience in Gujarat and Punjab bypolls. He emphasized potential upheavals ahead in the 2027 elections, forecasting further rejection of BJP and Congress by Gujarat voters. The Visavadar victory, achieved by AAP's Gopal Italia, exemplifies the party's growing influence.
