Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak announced via an X post that Kejriwal has convened a highlevel strategy meeting for Haryana, which goes to the polls on October 5.

"CM called a meeting of the senior leadership of the Aam Aadmi Party to discuss the campaign plan for the Haryana election," Pathak's post read.

On Friday, the Supreme Court granted the AAP national convenor bail in a corruption case lodged by the CBI in connection with the excise policy 'scam'.

Out after six months, the star campaigner of the party is now expected to unleash an extensive poll campaign in the state.

In the high stakes election for AAP, which is desperate to expand its footprint in the state, the party has decided to contest solo on all 90 seats after seat-sharing talks with the Congress failed. "People connect with Kejriwal. He is not just the party's biggest face but also the main star campaign er," a senior party leader said.
