Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann finds himself at odds with farmers, whom he accuses of transforming the state into a hotbed of protests. This clash between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and farmers, who played a pivotal role in AAP’s past electoral victories, raises questions about AAP’s strategy in Punjab. The confrontation occurs against a backdrop of escalating political tensions and backlash from the opposition in the aftermath of AAP’s defeat in Delhi elections and Arvind Kejriwal’s contentious visit to Punjab.
