AAP Drops Seven Sitting MLAs in Punjab Poll Candidate List, Some Express Discontent
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released its second list of 31 candidates for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, dropping seven sitting MLAs, including minister Anmol Gagan Maan. Maan stated she informed party leader Arvind Kejriwal of her decision not to contest, which he accepted despite disappointment. Some dropped MLAs, like Chamkaur Sahib's Dr Charanjit Singh, expressed dissatisfaction and hinted at contesting from other parties. The reshuffle has sparked internal dissent within AAP ahead of the polls.
