It seems like a well-planned move to allow Arvind Kejriwal to campaign for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidates in the upcoming Haryana assembly elections. The court hearing, which concluded on 5th September, saw the decision being announced on 12th September source says. Some speculate that the delay was orchestrated by the BJP to prevent the formation of a coalition source says. Arvind Kejriwal's activities are restricted, as he has been barred from speaking about his arrest and jail, attending office, signing papers, and participating in cabinet meetings. Additionally, the BJP's position is also somewhat limited as they are contesting the elections alone and relying on regional parties for potential government formation source says. Sources suggest that the BJP is concerned about a potential shift of Dalit and Jat voters towards the Congress party. To counter this, it is rumored that the BJP has activated the so-called "B team," the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), to appeal to Dalit voters in their favor. Moreover, alliances among various parties are also shaping the political landscape. The BSP and the party of senior Chautala are in coalition, while the party of Chandrasekhar Azad and the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) are also forming a coalition. The JJP is reportedly working to redirect Jat voters away from the Congress party source says. Considering these ground realities, it is anticipated that the JJP might indirectly support the BJP, while Kejriwal's presence is likely to complicate matters for the Congress party source says.
