Priyanka Kakkar on Wednesday said she would want party convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to be the alliance’s Prime Ministerial candidate.
While speaking to news agency ANI, Kakkar said: “If you ask me, I would want Arvind Kejriwal to be Opposition’s Prime Ministerial candidate.”
She added that the AAP convenor has been highlighting issues of the public and has emerged as a credible challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s hold on the country’s highest office. Be it the PM’s academic records or qualifications or any other issue, Arvind Kejriwal has been putting across his views boldly on myriad subjects,” Kakkar added.
Nonetheless, while her statement posed a potential challenge to the unity of the Opposition before the Mumbai conference, set to commence later on Wednesday and extend into Thursday, the AAP spokesperson affirmed that INDIA was dedicated to guiding the nation toward a fresh trajectory.
She asserted that despite the escalating costs of vital goods and food products, the national capital maintained the status of having the “most minimal” inflation rate.
Congress leader Kapil Sibal, however, said instead of discussing PM post, INDIA should emphasize on alliance’s vision and offerings.
