And out of 117, 27 seats were left. In meeting with Kejriwal, Rajewal had demanded 60 tickets.
we won’t change tickets
AAP leader Kejriwal told Rajewal, “These 90 out of 90 are the children of you and the farmers and if we talk about the alliance, then you can take 10-15 seats out of the remaining seats, but the people to whom we have given tickets, They will not be replaced. Yes, I agree that it will definitely harm the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab.
