Fri Mar 21 08:57:51 UTC 2025: ## AAP Announces Major Reshuffle After Delhi Election Defeat

**New Delhi, [Date]** – The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced a major reshuffle of its leadership following its resounding defeat in the recent Delhi Assembly elections. Saurabh Bhardwaj, a three-time MLA and former Delhi Health Minister, has been appointed as the new Delhi state unit president, replacing Gopal Rai. This is part of a broader restructuring that sees several prominent figures, including former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain, taking on organizational responsibilities.

Bhardwaj, who lost his Greater Kailash seat in the February elections, is one of three top leaders given new roles after the electoral setback. Sisodia has been appointed as the Punjab in-charge, while Jain will serve as co-in-charge. The party also announced Maharaj Malik as the new state president of Jammu and Kashmir.

Further appointments include Gopal Rai and Durgesh Pathak as Gujarat in-charge and co-in-charge, respectively, Pankaj Gupta as Goa in-charge, and Sandeep Pathak (Rajya Sabha MP) as Chhattisgarh in-charge. These changes reflect the AAP’s efforts to regroup after the BJP’s significant victory in Delhi, where they secured 48 seats compared to AAP’s 22. Punjab remains the only state where AAP currently holds power.
