AAP may join Bihar poll fray

PATNA: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) seems to have also decided to jump into the poll fray in Bihar. The party has authorised its state additional incharge Ashutosh Singh Sengar to assess the situation and decide the strategy for the upcoming elections.
Party posters depicting ‘vastraharan’ scene from Mahabharata and showcasing Kejriwal as Lord Krishna and situation in Bihar as Draupadi who is surrounded by crime, unemployment, migration, flood, hunger and poor health and education system, have come up in Patna.
Sengar, however, said the poster had been put up by the party workers and not the party. “I have been here for the last three days, meeting our party’s district presidents and other workers. After analysing the situation, I will prepare a report and submit the same to the party’s central leadership. The number of seats on which the party will contest in Bihar will be decided later,” he added.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, AAP had fielded its candidates on three seats in Bihar – Bhagalpur, Sitamarhi and Kishanganj. However, the party had suffered defeat on all the seats.
