AAP to start mass contact from Feb 26
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) plans to take up various pending issues pertaining to the state, including Chandigarh and water-sharing. The party will, however, follow only those issues that are common to all communities.
Stating this at a press conference here today, party’s state unit convener Suchha Singh Chhotepur said AAP would contest the 2017 Assembly elections. A mass-contact programme exposing the SAD-BJP government would be started from February 26 onwards, he said.
He, however, denied that the party had decided to contest the Dhuri bypoll. “MP Bhagwant Mann wants the party to contest this bypoll, but the state committee is yet to take a decision on it,” he said.
He said 4.5 lakh state residents had already become AAP members. The mass-contact programme would aim at increasing the number further. In response to a query on whether the panthic issues would be followed by AAP, Chhotepur said he was against river water sharing and had moved a Bill in the state Assembly. “But AAP will follow only those issues that are in the interest of the state and all communities,” he said.
He claimed a number of senior Congress leaders from the state had sent feelers to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for joining it, but no one had officially applied for it so far. “Some leaders have approached us. I can’t reveal their names. They will have to apply as per the established norms of the party for membership. The decision to accommodate them will be taken as per the ‘clean image’ parameter set by the party,” he said
Names of several Congress leaders, including one of their spokespersons, is doing the round for past many days. Workers of the People’s Party of Punjab (PPP) have on social media sites appealed to party president Manpreet Singh Badal to join AAP. He, however, denied any such move.
