Arvind Kejriwal To Enter Parliament? AAP Move Sets Off Strong Buzz

Sanjiv Arora, a Ludhiana-based industrialist, has been a member of the Rajya Sabha since 2022. His name for the bypoll came as the Ludhiana West seat went vacant following the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi last month.

The date for the bypoll is yet to be announced.

Bharatiya Janata Party IT cell head Amit Malviya also weighed in on Sanjiv Arora's candidature, asking whether this move was intended at “clearing the path for Arvind Kejriwal, who just lost his own seat in New Delhi, to get nominated to the Rajya Sabha from Punjab”.

“Wouldn't it be better if someone from Punjab represented the state instead of Kejriwal?” Amit Malviya asked in a post on X.
