AAP Names 40 Star Campaigners for J&K Elections

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has released its first list of 40 star campaigners for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, with party leader Arvind Kejriwal and his wife Sunita Kejriwal topping the list. This election marks AAP's initial entry into the region after previously opting out of elections, including the recent Lok Sabha polls. The party aims to address local issues such as access to free electricity and clean water, aligning with its previous campaign platforms in Delhi and Punjab. Notably absent from the campaigners' list are MPs Swati Maliwal and Harbhajan Singh, reflecting internal party dynamics and past controversies. AAP has also announced candidates for seven constituencies, signaling its ambition to expand politically in Jammu and Kashmir. Kejriwal, currently in jail due to a money laundering case, remains a significant figure in the party's strategy as Sunita Kejriwal leads public outreach efforts.
