As Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP lost its hold over Delhi, a cryptic post by its former member, Swati Maliwal, is going viral. The Rajya Sabha MP posted an image of Draupadi’s ‘cheerharan’ (disrobing) from the epic Mahabharata — in subtle reference to betrayal and injustice.

Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Saturday shared a cryptic post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), a photo from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, showing Draupadi's disrobing (vastraharana) by Dushasana while Krishna re-robes her after the Pandavas lost a gamble to Kauravas.

Swati Maliwal, a prominent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, has become a fierce critic of her own party in the wake of its crushing defeat in the Delhi assembly elections. Though she did not contest the election, her reaction has been loud and clear, marking her disillusionment with AAP’s leadership.
