AAP to launch mega mass contact drive today

NEW DELHI: In the run-up to the Delhi Assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday said a mega mass contact campaign will start from November 18. AAP Delhi Convenor Gopal Rai said that during the campaign, ‘Jan Samvads’ will be held at all the 14,000 booths of 70 Vidhan Sabha constituencies, under the leadership of respective MLAS.

Rai said, “So far, the AAP has completed three phases of campaign in the run-up to the Vidhan

Sabha elections. In the first phase which started on September 1 and lasted till October 3, the party held Jan Samvad Yatra at each of the 70 Vidhan Sabha constituencies. In the second phase, the party held 14 Zila Sammelans or District meetings where the AAP national convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal directly addressed all the volunteers of the party. In the third phase, the party held a large-scale grassroot-level campaign through its frontal organisations which have touched various sections of the society in Delhi. Building on the success of these three campaigns, the party has decided to launch this mega mass-contact campaign covering all the 14,000 booths of Delhi.”

He added that this campaign will be led by the local MLAS. All MLAS will organise Jan Samwad for 4-5 booths every day in their constituencies. In constituencies where AAP does not have a MLA, the campaign will be led by the Vidhan Sabha In-charge along with the Sangathan Mantri. “During this mega-campaign, the party will discuss with people the work done by different state governments in Delhi starting from 1993. The AAP will also discuss the achievements and the work done by the AAP government under the leadership of CM Arvind Kejriwal in the last five years,” said Rai. He added that along with the Jan Samvad, the party will also work on the formation of Booth Level election committees through this campaign. This work will be done by the 2,700 Mandal Incharges that have already been appointed by the Party.
