The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led by the chief minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal is facing a hard time in Punjab just ahead of the assembly polls, as per reports. Arvind Kejriwal's home town Haryana is also one of the regions where AAP is struggling to survive. The reason behind this can also be the entry of Yogendra Yadav's Swaraj India party into the upcoming assembly polls. Yogendra Yadav an Indian activist, was a part of AAP till 2015, later he was expelled from the party. In 2016 he founded his new party Swaraj India which will now be contesting the assembly polls from Haryana.
