Before the opposition’s meeting in Mumbai, the AAP leader wants Arvind Kejriwal to run as INDIA’s PM candidate

AAP leader Priyanka Kakkar said on Wednesday that she would want party convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to be INDIA’s prime ministerial candidate ahead of the important Opposition bloc meeting in Mumbai.

“If you ask me, I would want Arvind Kejriwal to be the prime ministerial candidate (of the opposition alliance),” Kakkar was cited by ANI as having remarked.

According to the article, she said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s adversary, the AAP convenor, has become more credible as a result of raising topics of concern to the general population.

She was cited as saying, “Be it the PM’s academic records or qualifications or any other issue, Arvind Kejriwal has been putting across his views boldly on a variety of subjects.”

The AAP leader, however, said that INDIA was trying to guide the nation in a new course, the newspaper stated, “even as her remark threatened to rock the Opposition boat ahead of the Mumbai meeting, which kicks off later on Wednesday and will continue into Thursday.”

She said that Delhi, the nation’s capital, had the “lowest” inflation rate despite growing costs for food and other necessities.

“Our government offers free water, free electricity, free electricity for education, free bus passes for ladies, and free senior pilgrimage. The budget we gave was still in excess. The AAP spokeswoman was reported in the article as saying that Kejriwal “raised people’s issues and has emerged as a challenger (to PM Narendra Modi)”.

The third gathering of the recently established opposition coalition in Mumbai is expected to draw between 26 and 27 parties in total.

On September 1 in Mumbai, the INDIA partners are expected to conduct a joint meeting.

Discussions during the summit will center on the bloc’s plans for the next state elections and the crucial general elections the following year. During the two-day summit, the Opposition alliance’s logo may potentially be introduced.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Center was opposed by a total of 26 parties, including the Congress.

Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, called the alliance’s first meeting in Patna on June 23.

The group’s second conference was held in Bengaluru, Karnataka, which is governed by the Congress, on July 17 and 18.
