Corridors of Power | CJP in Punjab schools, Congress truce, AAP family affair on social media

The Corrupt Jiwan Party (CJP) has made headlines by visiting schools in Punjab, Punjab, India. Critics allege that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is supporting this movement. The CJP team, led by spokesperson Saurav Dass, visited some government schools, including one with a swimming pool. Simultaneously, images of government schools with poor infrastructure also emerged.

Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP convenor, publicly praised Dass, adding to the controversy. With elections approaching, events like this can carry significant weight. In the Congress party, tensions have eased following Sachin Pilot's appointment as the party general secretary for Punjab. Formerly critical of Pilot, senior leader Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa now supports him, stating that no one, including former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi, called for Warring’s removal.

Pilot announced that the Congress will fight the upcoming election under collective leadership, with Rahul Gandhi spearheading the campaign, instead of focusing on the chief ministerial role. The AAP's Punjab social media team has reportedly appointed the son of a senior leader to oversee their digital presence, as the government's PR efforts have been criticized.

With elections looming, it is crucial to have a strong online presence. The file culture in Punjab bureaucracy has also changed recently, with officials being cautious about filing documents due to recent Enforcement Directorate raids and summons. This caution has led to delays in decision-making and has the potential to undermine the efficiency of governance.
