Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal endorsed Bhagwant Mann for another term as Punjab chief minister Friday while hinting that early state elections could be imminent.
Kejriwal told workers that Mann’s leadership should continue, framing the announcement as clarity ahead of opposition attempts to exploit internal dissent.
