Recent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) developments have spurred rumors that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann would start his own political movement. This results from claims of corruption against AAP’s central leadership, failed promises, and supposed shortcomings in governance. Many Punjabis believe that Arvind Kejriwal, the national convener of AAP, is unduly influencing Punjab’s government from Delhi, which makes Mann seem as a “robot CM” with limited autonomy. Concerns concerning declining law and order, growing drug addiction, financial mismanagement, and Punjab’s rising unemployment have been voiced since Mann’s government came in power. This paper investigates the elements causing these difficulties, including internal party strife and outside political pressure, as well as the possible consequences of Mann founding a new political entity on the political scene of Punjab and AAP’s national reputation.
