00:00 In yet another shock for the already crumbling Indy alliance, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP
00:15 Supremo Arvind Kejriwal has now declared that his party will be contesting all 13 Lok Sabha
00:21 seats in Punjab during the upcoming general elections.
00:26 This announcement deals a blow to the opposition's India bloc, which aims to challenge the BJP's
00:31 dominance at the centre.
00:33 Both the Congress and AAP belong to this group.
00:37 At a rally, Kejriwal, recalling AAP's historic Punjab win, urged voters to support them in
00:42 the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
00:44 Seeking a repeat of their past success, he appeared for the blessings.
00:49 AAP plans to contest all 14 seats in Punjab and Chandigarh, and the candidate announcement
00:54 is likely within the next 10-15 days.
00:57 Here is Kejriwal's full statement.
01:04 AAP's news channel, AAP News, has been a great help to the people of Punjab.
01:26 AAP's new channel, AAP News, has been a great help to the people of Punjab.
01:53 Echoing Kejriwal's sentiment, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mahat retired AAP's commitment to winning
02:05 all Punjab seats, assuring candidate declaration by the month end.
02:09 For the unaware, there were already reported troubles between the YahMadmi Party and other
02:14 coalition members over the seat sharing in Punjab.
02:17 But now, Arvind Kejriwal has almost confirmed that the alliance in Punjab state no more
02:22 exists.
02:23 Now, this serves another blow for the India alliance which as mentioned before is already
02:28 crumbling.
02:29 Just a few weeks ago, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar also left the alliance and rejoined the BJP-led
02:34 NDA.
02:35 Then, Jayant Chaudhary, the RLD leader, has also announced that he is happy with the BJP
02:40 government decision and very soon might join the NDA alliance.
02:44 Whereas, on the other hand, the India alliance is suffering from infighting and jump shipping.
02:49 Every member is either blaming the other on how much seats it can win like Mamata Banerjee
02:54 stated about Congress party and challenged them to win even 40 seats in the upcoming
02:59 Lok Sabha elections.
03:00 This is indeed raising concern that will they even present a formidable challenge to the
03:05 BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
