Arvind Kejriwal's release from Tihar jail comes as a boon for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as he can now actively campaign for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. However, due to his detention, he missed campaigning for some seats. Here's a breakdown:
1. **Assam (2 seats):** AAP was contesting 2 seats in Assam during the first phase of elections, but Kejriwal couldn't campaign there.
 Â
2. **Gujarat (2 seats):** Similarly, during the third phase of elections, AAP was contesting 2 seats in Gujarat, where Kejriwal couldn't campaign either.
3. **Delhi (4 seats):** With nearly 12-13 days left for the election campaign in Delhi, where AAP is contesting 4 seats, Kejriwal will focus on boosting the party's prospects in the capital.
4. **Haryana (1 seat - Kurukshetra):** There is also equal time remaining for the Kurukshetra seat of Haryana, where AAP is contesting the elections.
5. **Punjab (13 seats):** The poll campaign in Punjab is still pending, where AAP is contesting all 13 seats. Kejriwal's active participation in the campaign may significantly benefit the party's prospects in the state.
Currently, AAP leader Sanjay Singh is also campaigning for the party across various states, including Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Moving forward, AAP and Arvind Kejriwal will need to decide whether he will campaign for the INDIA bloc in other states along with Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab or not. This decision will likely depend on strategic considerations and the party's priorities in different regions.
