AAP begins preparation for Delhi Assembly elections, asks MLAs to prepare report cards

AAP prepares for Delhi Assembly election by assessing MLAs' work, launching campaigns, and connecting with the public.

In preparation for the Delhi Assembly election scheduled to be held early next year, the Aam Aadmi Party has asked all its MLAs to prepare a report card of the work they have done over the past four-and-a-half years and present them to party workers in their constituency.

Senior AAP leader and Delhi State convener Gopal Rai told presspersons that a party workers’ conference would be held in every constituency and the report shared with the public.

“Through this method, the MLA will be able to tell the public what work has been done in the past four-and-a-half years,” Mr. Rai said.

He said that a four- pronged strategy has been launched with former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was recently released on bail, spearheading the people-connect initiative by conducting padyatras across the capital. Apart from the report cards, Mr. Rai said, “booth mapping” would be done in every constituency so that party workers could be given clear responsibilities. The party had roped in autorickshaw drivers to convey to the people the work done by the government despite “adverse circumstances”.

The AAP’s national general secretary (organisation) and Rajya Sabha member, Sandeep Pathak, said in a statement that the party was running several campaigns in Delhi for the Assembly election. He added that many more campaigns would be launched. “We are going to every Assembly constituency and connecting with the people. We are giving them information about work done in the past four and a half years. We are directly communicating with the public,” Mr. Pathak said.

He added that the party has intensified the preparations for the Assembly election with a renewed sense of energy after Mr. Sisodia was released.

“Mr. Sisodia has made a strategy to win the Assembly election by meeting with the party officials,” Mr. Pathak added.
