Punjab CM's surrender to Delhi Durbar? Why?

Recently, Arvind Kejriwal, the chief of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), influenced changes in Punjab's leadership. These changes include the appointment of KAP Sinha as the new Chief Secretary of Punjab, replacing Anurag Verma. 

Additionally, there was a cabinet reshuffle in the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government, with five MLAs inducted as cabinet ministers. Since Arvind Kejriwal's release from jail, the Punjab government has seen several changes. Four ministers were dropped from the Cabinet, and five new faces were inducted. 

The removal of several officials, including Baltej Pannu, Rajbir Singh, and Manpreet Kaur, from their posts in the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) has been seen as a move to tighten control over the Punjab government. The appointment of Aadil Khan as Special Media Advisor to the CM has further fueled speculations about the increasing grip of AAP's top leadership on the state government. These developments have led to accusations that the Punjab government is being remote-controlled to extract money for the upcoming Delhi elections. However, it is crucial to note that these changes may also be part of a broader effort to stiffle the working of the Punjab government and minimize the role of Bhagwant Mann in day-to-day decisions by autocratic Kejriwal, who is himself on the radar of courts and was in jail under court orders.

Additionally, two of the CM's aides, Onkar Singh and Navneet Wadhwa, were removed. 

Kejriwal, former Delhi CM but now just an MLA, in Sonia Gandhi style and blatantly unconditional manner reviewed the performance of Punjab Cabinet ministers in Delhi and set "targets" for them. He held one-to-one meetings with all Punjab ministers except the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Meanwhile, CM Mann, who had called a Cabinet meeting at Jalandhar, the same time and later in Chandigarh, was forced to reschedule it due to the ministers' presence in Delhi Durbar of Kejriwal. Was this exercise aimed at securing funding for the upcoming Delhi elections, or was it to assert Kejriwal's supremacy or humiliate and subdue Bhagwant Mann for not showing enough sycophancy during Arvind Kejriwal's jail term?
