In a strategic move, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has nominated Swati Maliwal, former chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), as a candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections in Delhi. Maliwal’s nomination comes amid political deliberations and notable resignations within the party.
Swift Resignation and Political Maneuvering
Shortly after her nomination, Swati Maliwal resigned from her position as the DCW chairperson, signaling a shift in her role within the political landscape. The move indicates a calculated strategy by AAP in shaping its representation in the Upper House of Parliament.
Renomination of Controversial Figures
The AAP has also re-nominated Sanjay Singh, currently in jail due to his alleged involvement in a liquor scam, and ND Gupta for a second term in the Rajya Sabha. The decision to stand by these figures suggests the party’s commitment to maintaining its presence in the parliamentary arena.
Maliwal’s Activism and Advocacy
Swati Maliwal, known for her extensive career in activism, particularly in championing women’s rights, has been a prominent face in Delhi’s social and political spheres. Her leadership at the DCW focused on addressing critical issues such as acid attacks, sexual harassment, and women’s safety.
Sushil Kumar Gupta’s Shift in Focus
With the term of Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Kumar Gupta coming to an end, he has expressed his intention to shift focus to electoral politics in Haryana. This decision reflects the dynamic nature of AAP’s members and their aspirations beyond the parliamentary setting.
Legal Permissibility: Sanjay Singh Allowed to Sign Papers from Jail
