New Delhi [India], March 29 (ANI): The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has 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 the key campaign faces.
Other names on 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 prepare for Assembly elections scheduled to be held in a single phase on April 9, with the counting of votes set for 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. In this election, the Congress-led UDF seeks 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. Approximately 2.7 crore voters are expected to participate in the election.
Meanwhile, Assam will witness a contest between the incumbent BJP-led NDA government and the Congress for the 126-seat Assembly. The BJP government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, will seek a third consecutive term, while the Congress aims to defeat the ruling party and return to power. (ANI)
