Meanwhile, AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who is in Rome to attend the canonisation ceremony of Mother Teresa told supporters in Italy that he was concerned about the situation in Punjab and would oversee the affairs of the party from next week.

“I will take over the reins of the party in Punjab. I will talk to good people who may be upset with the party. The corrupt and ineffective people will be thrown out,” Kejriwal said.
