The infighting within BJP over the selection of Delhi’s Chief Minister is causing hardships for the people of Delhi. Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Chief Spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar highlighted that several days have passed since the election results, yet the BJP has failed to appoint a Chief Minister for Delhi, leading to prolonged power cuts across the city.
She questioned why the people of Delhi should suffer due to BJP’s internal conflict and urged the party to put an end to its infighting, appoint a Chief Minister, and focus on governance.
Speaking to the media, Priyanka Kakkar highlighted that the BJP’s delay in finalizing a Chief Minister is a clear sign of factionalism within the party. “Their factions are meeting in groups of ten because they cannot agree on who should lead Delhi. Their internal conflict is ongoing, but why should the people of Delhi bear the brunt of it? On Tuesday, reports of prolonged power cuts emerged from several parts of Delhi. The BJP must put aside its differences, appoint a Chief Minister without delay, and focus on governance,” she said.
Priyanka Kakkar further stated that the Aam Aadmi Party is actively holding meetings. Since the election results, Arvind Kejriwal has been engaging with party leaders in Punjab, elected MLAs, and even candidates who did not win, gathering feedback and assessing areas that need improvement.
She emphasised that while the AAP is working on strengthening the party, the people of Delhi should not have to suffer. “The city is facing extended power cuts because the BJP has failed to appoint a Chief Minister. They must take swift action and fill the position immediately,” she added.
