Kejriwal launches rebranded student outfit ASAP, hardsells alternative politics

The AAP national convener, dressed in his trademark half-sleeved shirt and trousers, addressed the gathering for 12 minutes before leaving without interacting with the students who had come from Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab.

The launch marked Kejriwal’s first public appearance in the Capital since the AAP’s resounding defeat in the Delhi assembly elections in February — a result that saw the party, which ruled Delhi with a brute majority from 2015 to 2025, lose its stronghold.

Kejriwal had himself lost the New Delhi seat to BJP’s Parvesh Verma by 4,199 votes, and the party’s tally fell from 62 to just 22 seats.
