ED raids in Mohali expose AAP infighting, says Punjab BJP chief Jakhar
Synopsis
BJP's Punjab chief Sunil Jakhar has used the ED's Mohali raids to drive a wedge into AAP's internal dynamics, alleging that CM Bhagwant Mann's rushed disclaimer — distancing himself from the searches — publicly exposed a fractured relationship with state party president Aman Arora. The episode is shaping up as a political flashpoint ahead of Punjab's next state elections.
Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Sunil Jakhar on Friday, 8 May alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED)'s searches in Mohali have laid bare deep fissures within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), pointing specifically to what he described as a strained relationship between Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Punjab AAP President Aman Arora. Jakhar's remarks came a day after the ED conducted searches on two real estate developers with reported ties to AAP leaders.
