What should be our approach to AAP?

I think winning Punjab is significant and they have a good governance track record in Delhi. Though their positions opposing BJP or standing up for rights is lacking, it could be a strategy as well. I think we should support AAP still keeping our differences, for short term goal of defeating BJP.

I think that Aam Aadmi Party is a lesser evil than BJP, and since we are trying to elect a lesser evil government in short term, say in 2024, AAP seems to be that one being competent at the same time.

I would also like to see how AAP does in Punjab which is a real state, while Delhi is mostly under the Central government.

I have mixed feelings towards AAP mainly due to Kejriwal's unpredictable and contradictory ideological stands. But, giving BJP another term does not seem to be an option, so I think I will endorse AAP.
