Sunita Kejriwal's Role in AAP: From IRS Officer to Political Face

Sunita Kejriwal's Role in AAP: From IRS Officer to Political Face

Sunita Kejriwal, wife of Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, took on a more public role in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after her husband was arrested.

She had been an IRS officer before, and previously stayed away from politics.

After his arrest, she became the face of the party's campaign, representing him and connecting with supporters.

This move was seen as a way to keep the party strong and united during a difficult time, and to fight against accusations of political vendetta.

Although some see it as a sign of family-centered politics, similar to other parties, the party also appointed Atishi as the Delhi CM, which could be seen as an attempt to distance themselves from dynastic politics.
