Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is on his scheduled visit to Amritsar today and as it was being speculated, the former IPS officer Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, who was part of the SIT probing the 2015 Kotkapura police firing incident in Punjab, has joined the AAP in Delhi CM's presence.

"Punjab wants change. The only hope is the AAP. See you tomorrow at Amritsar," Kejriwal had tweeted on Sunday hinting that AAP is planning to expand its footprints in the state.

AAP has recently suffered a massive jolt after Punjab Ekta Party led by former AAP leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira joined hands with the Congress on June 17. Khaira had been a member of the Congress but he switched to the AAP before 2017 Punjab Assembly Polls.

Besides, with the elections round the corner in the state, Arvind Kejriwal does not want to leave any stone unturned to step into the political circle of Punjab as he believes the state requires change from the conventional parties’ reign.

Meanwhile, Kunwar Vijay Pratap is the third police officer to try his luck in politics in the last decade. Earlier, two former DGPs SS Virk and PS Gill have tried to change the picture of Punjab through politics, but did not succeed.
