AAP eyes Rajasthan after Punjab win

The AAP announced fresh beginnings for the election preparations from this conference…reports Asian Lite News

Buoyant after its recent victory in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has started hectic preparations in Rajasthan for the upcoming Assembly elections.

Vinay Mishra, the new in-charge of AAP Rajasthan, announced the dissolution of all the executive bodies from the state executive to the district level and said that new office-bearers will be appointed soon.

Along with this, the party has also started a digital membership campaign. This was announced on Sunday at the workers’ conference in Jaipur.

The AAP announced fresh beginnings for the election preparations from this conference.

Without discipline party even family can’t run

In the conference, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh advised party workers to follow discipline and said that there will be no place for undisciplined people. He said, “Discipline is necessary everywhere including party, institution, school, college, without discipline, even a family cannot run.”

He further advised the party workers to learn making use of their organisation from the BJP workers.

Rajasthan election in-charge Vinay Mishra, MLA from Delhi’s Dwarka seat, said that workers shall start working with a notion that elections are going to be held soon.

A three-month special membership drive is being started in the state. There will be in-charges at the district level for monitoring.

Ashok Gehlot

In Rajasthan, the failures of Congress’s Ashok Gehlot government will be taken to the public. After the party’s victory in Punjab, there is enthusiasm among the workers in Rajasthan and new people are joining the party, he added.

South India

The resounding victory in the recent Punjab Assembly elections, comes as a shot in the arm for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Karnataka unit. The party has started its groundwork for the Karnataka Assembly elections that are due in the first half of 2023.

Even as the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress are preparing for battle in Karnataka, the AAP, fresh from its victory in Punjab, smells opportunity in the southern state.

AAP state convener, Karnataka, Prithvi Reddy says, the people of the state will have a real alternative after a long time.

“In Punjab, Congress had ruled for 26 years, Akali Dal had ruled for 24 years. And people of Punjab felt let down. I think the situation is very similar in Karnataka. Now that they will have a real alternative I think Karnataka will vote in one way.

“The plus point is up to now we have spoken about the Delhi model very soon we will have a Punjab model. Delhi was a city government urban city. But there is a lot of similarity between Punjab and Karnataka because both are largely agrarian states so I think we will have a great model before the elections where we would have delivered things also to people in the rural areas of Punjab.

“So when we approach Karnataka elections it will be not only Delhi model but it will also be the Punjab model,” Reddy said.

Compared to the major Dravidian states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana where regional parties play a major role, Karnataka has by and large been a battleground for the national parties BJP and Congress, with the JD-S sometimes donning the mantle of kingmaker.

Down the years, the state has been open to new political options. Initially a Congress bastion, it proved to be a fertile ground for the Janata pariwar. From the late 80s onwards, the BJP is making inroads into Karnataka where it is the ruling party today.

The AAP is targeting all the three players in Karnataka.
