In the aftermath of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest in connection with a liquor scam, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) finds itself embroiled in a fierce power struggle, with potential successors vying for control amidst mounting uncertainty.
Amid speculations that Kejriwal may have to relinquish his position as Chief Minister due to impending legal proceedings, attention turns to potential successors within the party. While Delhi’s Education Minister and prominent AAP member Atishi Marlena emerges as a formidable contender for leadership, recent actions by Kejriwal hint at a different trajectory—his purported inclination towards positioning his wife to assume the reins of Delhi’s governance.

With the likelihood of Kejriwal’s inability to govern from jail, a scenario where he must step down as Chief Minister seems increasingly plausible. Such a development is poised to trigger a fierce internal conflict within the AAP, as various factions vie for supremacy and vie for control of the party’s direction.
The impending power struggle is seen as pivotal, as it holds the key to determining the future trajectory of the AAP. However, recent controversies surrounding AAP ministers’ alleged involvement in scandals cast a shadow over the party’s prospects, hinting at tumultuous times ahead.
As the AAP braces itself for the fallout from Kejriwal’s arrest and prepares for a potential leadership transition, the party finds itself at a crossroads, with the looming power struggle set to shape its destiny in the coming days.
