AAP releases star campaigner list for Kerala, Assam Assembly elections

AAP releases star campaigner list featuring Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann for the upcoming Assembly elections in Kerala and Assam.

"Aam Aadmi Party released its list of star campaigners... naming top leadership, including party convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann - Press Release"

New Delhi, March 29

Aam Aadmi Party released its list of star campaigners for the upcoming Assembly elections in Kerala and Assam, naming top leadership, including party convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, to spearhead its outreach.

According to a press release, the list released on Sunday, features senior leaders such as Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Satyendar Jain, along with MPs including Sandeep Pathak, Harbhajan Singh, and Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer. Kerala in-charge Shelly Oberoi has also been included among key campaign faces.

Other names in the list include former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, Delhi unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj, and former ministers Gopal Rai and Imran Hussain. Gujarat leaders Isudan Gadhvi and Gopal Italia also feature in the campaign roster.

The announcement comes as both Kerala and Assam gear up for Assembly elections scheduled to be held in a single phase on April 9, with counting of votes on May 4 under the Election Commission's Model Code of Conduct.

Kerala has traditionally followed an alternating pattern of governance, switching between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) every five years since 1982. This trend was broken in 2021 when the LDF, led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, was re-elected for a second consecutive term. During this election, the Congress-led UDF seek to unseat the incumbent Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led LDF and gain control of the 140-member assembly.

The LDF-led government has governed the state for around a decade. Around 2.7 crore electors are expected to participate in the election.

Meanwhile, Assam will witness a fight between the incumbent BJP-led NDA government and Congress for the 126-seat assembly. The BJP government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, will look to secure a third consecutive term, while the Congress aims to defeat the ruling party to return to power.

Good to see new parties trying. But honestly, in Kerala people are very loyal to either LDF or UDF. AAP should focus on building a strong local base first instead of just parachuting star campaigners. Grassroots work matters more than big names.

Kejriwal and Mann campaigning in Assam is a smart move. The BJP is strong there, but if AAP can position itself as a viable alternative to Congress, they might gain some traction. The fight for the anti-BJP vote will be interesting! 💪

As someone who follows Indian politics, I appreciate AAP's ambition. However, releasing a list of campaigners from Delhi for a state election feels a bit top-down. They need to promote more local faces from Kerala and Assam to connect with voters.

Breaking the LDF-UDF cycle in Kerala would be historic, but AAP is very new there. Their work in education and health in Delhi is good, but they need to show how their policies fit Kerala's specific needs. All the best to them! 🙏

More choices for voters is always a good thing. The traditional parties in both states have had their turn. Let's see what AAP's agenda is for the people of Kerala and Assam. Hope they talk about real issues like jobs and development.
