The Aam Aadmi Party, or AAP, is a political party founded by Arvind Kejriwal in 2012. It was born out of a civil society movement — Indian Against Corruption — that received massive popular support in 2011-12 after public anger over corruption charges on the then Congress-led UPA government.
It won its first elections in Delhi in 2013, and came to power with outside support from the Congress. But the government lasted only 49 days as Kejriwal resigned since he was unable to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi Assembly. AAP returned to power in 2015, winning an overwhelming 67 out of 70 seats in the Delhi Legislative Assembly. Under Kejriwal’s leadership, the government focused on addressing key urban issues like inflation, water, electricity bills, and public services, with a promise of free water and electricity for residents. AAP’s welfare schemes included initiatives like Mohalla Clinics for healthcare and expanding the Delhi Metro network. These initiatives garnered significant praise and boosted the party’s popularity.
However, AAP’s relationship with the central government, led by the BJP, has been marked by ongoing tensions, especially regarding control over the Delhi Police and other administrative matters. The party has frequently clashed with the Lieutenant Governor (L-G), who is appointed by the central government.
One of the biggest controversies surrounding the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in recent years has been the corruption charges linked to the 2021-22 Delhi excise policy. Several key AAP leaders, including Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, have been accused of irregularities in the policy, which allegedly favored liquor suppliers. The case led to their arrests by central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Convener Arvind Kejriwal was also jailed in connection with the case. After being granted bail, Kejriwal stepped down as Chief Minister, with Atishi taking over the role.
After INDEPENDENCE 1947, THIS SCHEME REACHES THE POPULATION OF INDIA IN FULL. AN OIL LAMB IS PERMANENTLY RAISED IN ALL HOMES OF INDIA. OUR PM SHOULD BE RECOMMENDED AND HONOURED BY PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS. GREAT HELP TO THE INDIANS.
“An AAP leader, however, told ThePrint that Khetan had quit the party as, like many other senior leaders, he was disappointed with the politics of AAP convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.”
really please name that AAP leader who told ThePrint. He quit party as he wanted to pursue Legal. Kindly read his own Facebook wall and Twitter handle on what did he said about why he left AAP. Looks like ThePrint is a Congress funded news media.
Best Wishes.
Dear Rajgopal Singh, the job of a journalist is not to express an opinion, but to write about the truth. Also, painting a black and white image of a scenario is actually a poor journalism. A journalist should paint the entire spectrum of colors depicting the scenario rather than just black and white as in this case, wherein just praising another person makes a person a fan of that person. Hope to see improvement in your journalism. Best Wishes.
Those who joins BJP are vandalised but those who Joins congress or AAP are praised
