Bhagwant Mann – the comedian-turned-politician who courted controversy last year for live-streaming on the premises of Parliament – could be Arvind Kejriwal’s choice for the chief ministerial candidate in Punjab. So far, Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) doesn’t have a chief ministerial face in the state where elections will be held on 4 February.
“There is amazing craze for Mann among voters,” a senior AAP leader in Delhi told NDTV. However, the politician added that the party had not decided on a CM face yet.
