Buoyed by its victory in the recently held Assembly elections in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has stepped up its efforts to challenge the Bharatiya Janata Party government in the neighbouring Himachal Pradesh, where the polls are due later in 2022.
To ensure that it continues with its winning streak, the AAP has kick–started a State–wide membership drive to consolidate the support base across the 68 constituencies. The State unit intends to achieve a target of 10 lakh members. It claims that it has 3.25 lakh members in the State.
In no mood to waste any time, the party has set the ball rolling through political activities. Party’s national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann would visit Mandi — home district of Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur — on April 6 to hold a roadshow to send across a message about the party’s presence.
