The Aam Aadmi Party's chief national spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar on August 30 pitched for Arvind Kejriwal as the prime ministerial candidate for the opposition INDIA bloc. Hours later, Delhi Cabinet Minister Atishi said the Chief Minister does not have such aspirations.
Ms. Kakkar said that Mr. Kejriwal, as the Chief Minister of Delhi, has given a model that the whole country can benefit from.
The comments came a day ahead of the INDIA alliance's meeting in Mumbai during which the Opposition leaders are expected to chalk out a joint campaign strategy to take on the BJP-led NDA in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and iron out the differences among themselves.
