AAP Inducts Mann, Cheema into PAC; Ghuman Joins National Executive Ahead of Punjab Polls
Ahead of the Punjab assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) restructured its top decision-making bodies, inducting Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema into the 10-member Political Affairs Committee (PAC). Former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain also joined the PAC. The 23-member National Executive includes Mann's Officer on Special Duty Rajbir Singh Ghuman and Arvind Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar. Ghuman's appointment has drawn scrutiny due to an ongoing Enforcement Directorate investigation. The reshuffle aims to strengthen Punjab's leadership role in election strategy and party organization.
