CHANDIGARH: Amid speculation that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) may deny her a ticket for the upcoming assembly elections, MLA Anmol Gagan Mann has broken her silence, clarifying that her decision not to contest is her own and not the party’s.
In a post on Facebook addressed to the people of Punjab and the media, Mann said her silence had led to various statements and speculation about why she would not contest the elections.
She said she had met AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi at noon on August 5, 2026, and clearly conveyed her decision not to contest the elections.
According to Mann, Kejriwal called her again three days ago to confirm whether she stood by her decision. She said she reiterated that she would not enter the electoral fray.
Mann added that Kejriwal had also asked her to clarify publicly that the party had not dropped her from its candidate list and that the decision was hers.
