AAP's three reasons for staying away from opposition meetings
Incident of 2017. The presidential election was in full swing. Sonia Gandhi had invited 17
different political parties to form a coalition for the elections. In this meeting, the Aam
Aadmi Party - 'Aap' was conveniently excluded. At that time, AAP was in the spotlight as
various cases were filed against its ministers and MLAs.
The second incident took place on June 15, 2022. Once again the occasion of the
presidential election. Apart from AAP and some other parties, several opposition parties

2. had come together for the meeting. AAP is the second largest opposition party after the
Congress in two states. AAP has a total of 155 MLAs and 10 MPs. However, this meeting
was initiated by Mamata Banerjee for the election Was held. At this time, you have
deliberately stayed away from such meetings. After raising the flag of power in two states,
we have focused on Gujarat, Haryana and other states.
There are three main reasons why AAP has stayed away from such opposition meetings.
Existence of Congress :
The Aam Aadmi Party has been dominating the Congress in Delhi politics for the last 10
years. Now that Punjab has been taken over, AAP is not ready to sit in the crowd of
opposition parties with Congress. You have a foothold in the India Against Corruption
movement. From there, Arvind Kejriwal's leadership came forward. The agitation was
against the then Congress government at the Center over the Jan Lokpal Bill. After that,
Kejriwal's AAP came to power in the 2013 Despite the elections, the Congress had to take
help to establish power. However, with the support of the Lokpal Bill, your government was
short-lived. In the subsequent elections, AAP had come to power on its own. Since then, the
AAP has consistently dominated the Congress in Delhi state politics. Now in Punjab, you
have dusted off the Congress. After the 2019 Lok Sabha elections The gap between the
Congress and AAP was widening. AAP, which has captured the vote of the Congress, is now
trying to stay four hands away from the Congress.
Image protection :
Compared to other political parties, AAP is trying to preserve its own image. Good
governance is trying to focus on a corruption-free image, especially the traditional ones
used by other political parties. The Delhi state government, on the other hand, won two

3. consecutive elections on the same issues and seized power by campaigning in Punjab.
Trying to preserve this image is an attempt to show how we are different from the other
parties Is doing. At the same time, Kejriwal played a significant role in various roles with
party leaders from other states till 2019. However, after 2019, we have started to take care
that our own image will not flow with other political parties, there will be no rift, our own
existence will be clearly seen.
Political void :
Mamata Banerjee of the Trinamool Congress was leading a meeting of the opposition on
the occasion of the recent presidential election. This is an important reason to be absent
from your meeting. Because while AAP was trying from the beginning to fill the political
vacuum in Goa, Kejriwal was unknowingly hurt by the sudden entry of Trinamool Congress
in the recent elections. Jya In a state where the Congress is not effective or its influence is
diminishing, AAP is trying to gain a foothold. You proved it in Punjab, now Kejriwal is trying
in Gujarat-Haryana-Assam. In West Bengal and Assam, you are now trying to trap the
Trinamool.
