Today marks a significant moment for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as chief Arvind Kejriwal launches the party’s campaign in Haryana with a roadshow in Yamunanagar district. This event is particularly notable as it’s Kejriwal’s first public appearance since being released on bail in the Delhi Excise Policy case.
The roadshow is set to begin at 2:30 PM from Jhanda Chowk in the Jagadhri constituency. This is after his recent resignation as Delhi chief minister, AAP leader Atishi is poised to be sworn in as the new chief minister of Delhi this Saturday. With Haryana elections approaching—scheduled for October 5—the atmosphere is charged with anticipation.
Sandeep Pathak, AAP’s national general secretary (organization), emphasized the significance of Kejriwal’s return, stating, “AAP national convenor Kejriwal has emerged from jail after overcoming the BJP’s conspiracy. He is now fully prepared to launch the election campaign in Haryana.”
After the roadshow, Kejriwal will hit several key areas, including Dabwali, Rania, Bhiwani, Meham, Pundri, Kalayat, Rewari, Dadri, Assandh, Ballabgarh, and Badra. Pathak announced that Kejriwal will cover 11 districts with a total of 13 scheduled programs, indicating a robust campaign strategy.
While details of the subsequent campaign schedule will be shared later, AAP is contesting all 90 seats in Haryana after negotiations with Congress over a potential seat-sharing agreement fell through. The BJP has held power in Haryana since 2014, making this election a crucial battleground for AAP.
Pathak further noted the importance of this campaign, saying, “For the first time, Arvind Kejriwal is coming to Haryana with AAP. A great new option for change is now before the people of Haryana. They have witnessed AAP’s work in Punjab and the governance in Delhi. Having seen all this, the people will seek change and vote for Arvind Kejriwal’s honest politics and AAP.”
Kolkata: On Friday, January 10, 2026, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha members demonstrated against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her actions after the ED raids at the I-PAC office and its chief Pratik Jain's home. | In relation to an alleged coal smuggling case that stretches back a few years, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) office and Pratik Jain's home on Loudon Street in Kolkata on Thursday, January 8, 2025. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a protest against the ED raids on I-PAC after the raid set off a political storm in the state. Why is a chief minister endorsing Pratik Jain, and who is he? Pratik Jain, a political strategist and co-founder of I-PAC, is a graduate of IIT Bombay. He is credited with helping I-PAC grow into one of the most significant political consulting organizations in India. I-PAC was established in 2015 and offers services like data-driven campaign management, support for governance, and voter outreach initiatives. It has collaborated with a number of Indian political groups throughout the years, notably West Bengal's Trinamool Congress (TMC). I-PAC reportedly collaborates closely with Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress, and his office. The company oversees the IT and media division of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC and is in charge of creating its election campaigns. Mr. Jain was in charge of the Trinamool Congress's IT cell, according to Ms. Banerjee. According to his LinkedIn page, Jain, an engineering graduate from IIT Bombay, started his career as an analyst at the consulting firm Deloitte. He was one of the first members of Citizens of Accountable Governance, which later evolved into I-PAC. Arvind Kejriwal, M.K. Stalin, Jaganmohan Reddy, Uddhav Thackeray, Rahul Gandhi, and Nitish Kumar are just a few of the prominent figures with whom the political consultancy firm has collaborated.…
