The debate over India’s economy continues in Parliament.

Following AAP’s Delhi defeat, speculation grows over Arvind Kejriwal’s political future. With no official position, he may enter the Rajya Sabha from Punjab, replacing an AAP MP. Another option is contesting the Ludhiana West bypoll to become Punjab CM, though party leaders deny such plans. Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa claimed Kejriwal “cannot remain without power” but warned Punjab rejects outsiders. Others suggest he should focus on rebuilding AAP nationally. Legal troubles may impact his choices. With AAP still holding 43% of Delhi’s vote share, Kejriwal’s next move will shape the party’s future.

The state has remained tense since ethnic violence erupted in May 2023, killing 250 people. With no consensus, President’s Rule is likely under Article 356, transferring power to the Centre. Singh resigned amid internal dissent and a possible Congress-led no-confidence motion. BJP’s state chief called it a move to protect Manipur’s integrity.
