After a thumping win in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) seems to have set its eyes on Himachal Pradesh. Addressing a rally in the Himalayan state, AAP convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that his party has eradicated corruption in Punjab in just 20 days.

“We are common people. We don’t know how to do politics. Instead, we know how to work for people, build schools & end corruption. We’ve ended corruption in just 20 days in Punjab since Bhagwant Mann became the CM. Now ‘kranti‘ should happen in Himachal Pradesh too,” Kejriwal said in Mandi.

Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann reached Himachal Pradesh earlier today. The duo addressed the crowd during a roadshow in Mandi. “First, we eradicated corruption in Delhi and then in Punjab, now it’s time to uproot corruption from Himachal Pradesh,” Arvind Kejriwal further added.

Elections for the 68-seater Himachal Pradesh Assembly are slated to be held later this year. Though the election dates have not yet been announced, the tenure of the current Assembly is slated to conclude by January 8, 2023. Besides AAP, which will be contesting the forthcoming elections in Himachal Pradesh, the other key parties include the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress.

AAP is emboldened by its recent victory in Punjab. In the recently concluded Punjab Assembly elections, AAP came to power with a thumping majority. With the latest victory, the party now holds power in two states – Delhi and Punjab.
