New Delhi: Following the assault allegation by AAP MP Swati Maliwal, the party seems to have kicked her out from the list of the party's star campaigners for Punjab. The list released on Monday evening featured 40 star campaigners, including party supremo Arvind Kejriwal, his wife Sunita Kejriwal, and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Swati had earlier alleged that Kejriwal’s close aide, Bibhav, had assaulted her at the Delhi CM’s official residence. Following this allegation, not including her in the star campaigners list for Punjab does spark rumours, as she was included in the Delhi list.
The list of star campaigners also includes the names of jailed leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.
The other star campaigners for AAP are Rajya Sabha MPs Sanjay Singh and Raghav Chadha, who is currently abroad for eye treatment.
Sandip Pathak, an AAP Rajya Sabha and the party's national general secretary, Delhi ministers Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Gopal Rai and Kailash Gahlot have also been included in the list.
It also includes Punjab ministers Harpal Cheema, Aman Arora, Anmol Gagan Mann, Chetan Singh Jauramajra, Bram Shanker Jimpa, Harjot Bains, Balkar Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Baljit Kaur and Lal Chand Kataruchak.
Punjab MLAs who have been included in the AAP list of star campaigners are Budhram, Baljinder Kaur, Kulwant Pandori, Saravjit Kaur Manuke, Inderbir Singh Nijjar, Jagdeep Singh Goldy Kamboj and Dinesh Chadha.
A constituent of the opposition INDIA bloc, AAP is contesting the Lok Sabha polls independently in Punjab.
