Dropping a hint that AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal may be the party's chief ministerial candidate in Punjab, Delhi's Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia told voters of the state to vote "assuming Kejriwal is your chief minister".


Addressing a rally in Mohali, Sisodia said, "Your vote should be in the name of Kejriwal. Assume he is your CM candidate and vote for him."


The statement triggered speculations in political circle as whether Kejriwal is planning to shift to Punjab, quitting Delhi once again. The Aam Aadmi Party, which won four Lok Sabha seats in 2014 Lok Sabha elections, was seen as a major alternative force to Congress and Akali Dal for the voters.


Kejriwal had, earlier, ruled out contesting elections from Punjab. In an interesting twitter war with Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh, Kejriwal had asked him is he is looking for a safe seat.


To this Singh dared Kejriwal to contest against him. But Kejriwal stepped back.The Assembly elections for 117 seats will be held in single phase on February 4. The results of the elections will be announced on 11 March.
