Q. With the elections approaching, what key agendas will AAP focus on during the campaign? A. Our primary focus is on the work we have done and will continue to do in the future. We are committed to serving the public, as demonstrated by our efforts to provide 24-hour electricity, maintain stable electricity rates, ensure proper water supply, offer free bus travel for women, improve hospitals, and establish Mohalla Clinics. These achievements form the foundation of our work, and we will continue to build on them.

Q. Your party dropped more than 20 sitting MLAs in its candidate list. which already created an internal rebellion among the leaders. How do you control it? A. In our party, there are two key aspects: electoral politics and organisational work. Not everyone contests elections. While some members may run for office, others focus on strengthening the party through different responsibilities. Both roles are essential to our success.

Q. BJP may field high-profile candidate against your 10 years of anti-incumbency, so how will you tackle them in this election? A. As for the so-called "high-profile" individuals, those removed from the cabinet or denied MP tickets were unable to deliver on their responsibilities. If their work was subpar, they were replaced, as the party prioritises performance over reputation. Being "high-profile" should be based on meriteffective work should lead to opportunities, such as becoming an MP or a minister.

If someone fails to perform, they cannot be considered high-profile.
