Yadav, Prashant Bhushan After its formation, Swaraj Abhiyan has been building
the organisation not only in Punjab, but other parts of the country. Swaraj
Abhiyan, a group formed by the duo and their supporters after their expulsion
from the AAP, said they are “seriously thinking” about contesting the assembly
elections in Punjab. Meanwhile, the party has said it will “back” musician Bhai
Baldeep Singh from Khadoor Sahib assembly during by-poll in Punjab next month. Bhai
Baldeep Singh, who is also a part of the national executive of the
organisation, said, “Swaraj Abhiyan’s support is crucial for the polls.” AAP’s
Timarpur MLA Pankaj Pushkar, two of the four MPs of AAP from Punjab --
Dhramvira Gandhi and Harinder Singh Khalsa -- are linked to Swaraj Abhiyan. The
two MPs have also been suspended from the party, but not expelled. So, they
technically remain AAP members. The organisation chose Punjab when it launched
the ‘Jai Kisan Andolan’ that involved touring areas of states like Haryana,
Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka that witnessed
drought-like condition and farmers suicide. Targeting Kejriwal, the
organisation has also opposed the Delhi government over education policies and
“dilution” of the Jan Lokpal Bill.
