In a significant blow to opposition unity, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced plans to contest all 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab independently, with one seat in Chandigarh. Kejriwal criticized the Congress, alleging a lack of significant achievements during its rule in Punjab. The move adds to the turmoil within the opposition bloc, already shaken by Mamata Banerjee's solo stance in West Bengal and Nitish Kumar's departure to the BJP-led NDA. The decision complicates the electoral landscape, with uncertainties also looming over alliances in Uttar Pradesh. Kejriwal's AAP aims to replicate its successful Punjab Assembly election performance on the parliamentary stage.
