Gujarat – The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has raised concerns over what it terms as undue pressure ahead of the upcoming AAP Gujarat election, claiming that state police are intimidating its workers and leaders. According to the party, the directives came from Gujarat’s Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi, targeting AAP members to force them to quit the party.
Over 150 AAP Workers Detained Across Gujarat Amid AAP Gujarat Election Intimidation Claims
In March alone, the AAP reported 34 FIRs against its members, with more than 150 workers allegedly taken into custody without any formal charges. The party claims that in several districts—including Sabarkantha, Junagadh, Jamnagar, Bhavnagar, Kutch, and Narmada—police officers visited homes, seized laptops and mobiles, and harassed families. This, the party says, is part of AAP Gujarat election intimidation tactics.
