Ahead of Gujarat's local body elections, the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) state Instagram account faced suspension, sparking accusations from party leaders of political maneuvering by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The suspension, according to AAP officials, underscores BJP's concern over their increasing voter support.

This incident occurred shortly after a significant political shift where seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs, including notable figure Raghav Chadha, defected to the BJP. This mass resignation signals a potential realignment of political allegiances.

AAP's national media in-charge, Anurag Dhandha, criticized the move as an attempt to stifle the party's voice. Despite these hurdles, AAP leaders assert their momentum remains strong, vowing to continue their campaign undeterred. BJP has yet to respond to these allegations.
