गहलोत-पायलट की लड़ाई को मौका मान रही आप: चुनाव वाले तीन राज्यों में आज से उतरेगी आप, फोकस ‘सॉफ्ट टारगेट’राजस्थान

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has finalized the strategy for the assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. AAP will start campaign from Rajasthan on Monday. AAP’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann will hold a show of strength in Jaipur. On Tuesday, both the leaders will go to Madhya Pradesh and hold a meeting in Bhopal to test the atmosphere of the state. Your main focus is on Rajasthan. AAP is looking at the areas adjacent to Punjab as ‘soft targets’. It hopes to win seats in areas with Punjabi influence.

AAP’s core team has seen three scenarios in Rajasthan. First- How much will the Congress suffer in the fight between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot and what will be Gehlot’s stand at the time of elections? Second- Will BJP give free hand to Vasundhara Raje or not? But, AAP believes that the show of strength by Vasundhara in Salasar has strengthened her claim. You think that if Vasundhara becomes strong then the Congress will suffer.

In that situation, you are seeing an opportunity to capture the slipping ground of Congress. You have also taken feedback from some administrative officers. It has come to know that the officers are also troubled by the internal fighting of the Congress. In many places such a situation has prevailed where the minister belongs to the Gehlot camp, the MLA belongs to the Pilot camp and the MP belongs to the BJP.

Third- AAP is looking for such leaders, who win elections on the symbol of any party with their own influence. In Rajasthan, MLAs have been made many times on BSP ticket. These MLAs have even played a role in forming the government.

After the poor performance in the Gujarat elections and the recent case of Manish Sisodia’s arrest in Delhi, the party wants to send a message to its voters that it will continue the struggle and widen the horizon in the 2024 general elections. The party also wants to take advantage of the perception that AAP is converting Congress votes.

Chhattisgarh eyeing tribals with ‘free’ formula

You will use your free formula to enter the hearts of tribals in Chhattisgarh. He seems to like the facilities provided for free. That is why the party is exaggerating the free facilities being given in Delhi and Punjab. You are also keeping an eye on BJP. Like in Rajasthan, what will be BJP’s strategy regarding former Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh, it matters to him.

Preparation of penetration in Punjabis through Maan
You want to strengthen the face of Bhagwant Mann among Sikhs and Punjabis as well. AAP is making this strategy that wherever it goes, it should have a separate dialogue with Punjabis in that area and it should become a big face till the Lok Sabha elections. BJP has also been holding such dialogues in different communities. PM Modi himself has been showing his closeness to Sikhs many times by meeting the enlightened people of Sikh society.
