New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has left for Delhi from Chandigarh with his entire cabinet. Kejriwal has called this meeting of his Punjab leaders amid talks of growing internal discontent in the party's state unit.

Kejriwal will hold a meeting with Bhagwant Mann, his ministers and all MLAs and MPs of Punjab at Kapurthala House in Delhi from 11 am today. Opposition parties - Congress and BJP have claimed that former Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal is preparing to remove Bhagwant Mann from the post of Punjab CM.

AAP MLA reached Delhi after postponing cabinet meeting in Punjab, meeting will be held with Arvind Kejriwal today: According to party sources, Kejriwal has called this meeting of Punjab ministers, MLAs and MPs to discuss the Delhi assembly elections and take their feedback as these leaders had actively campaigned for the party candidates in the national capital. More than 200 leaders, including Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, his cabinet ministers, MPs, MLAs and AAP state unit officials, were camping in Delhi for weeks for the election campaign.

Although the Aam Aadmi Party is calling it an organisational meeting, it has fuelled speculation of unrest in the party over the failure to fulfil election promises in Punjab and growing tension between Kejriwal and Mann. The Congress alleges that Punjab is being governed not by Bhagwant Mann but by Arvind Kejriwal sitting in Delhi. Meanwhile, BJP leader Tarun Chugh has claimed that the countdown of the Mann government in Punjab has begun.
