Raghav Chadha appointed AAP’s Gujarat co-incharge for Assembly election

The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP had earlier appointed Rajya Sabha member Sandeep Pathak at its Gujarat in-charge

The Aam Aadmi Party on September 18 appointed its Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha as the AAP’s Gujarat co-incharge for the State Assembly elections due later this year.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP had earlier appointed Rajya Sabha member Sandeep Pathak at its Gujarat in-charge.

Mr. Chadha had also held the responsibility of the party as Punjab affairs co-incharge, ahead of the Assembly elections in that State held earlier this year. The AAP had won the Punjab polls.

It has now positioned itself as the main rival of the BJP which has governed Gujarat for 27 years.

“Congratulations and best wishes to Rajya Sabha member and youth leader Raghav Chanda on being appointed as the “AAP’ Gujarat sah-prabhari (co-incharge),” AAP Gujarat said in a tweet.

In a response to his appointment, Mr. Chadha said, “I thank @ArvindKejriwal ji for entrusting me with this big responsibility. I will put in my blood, sweat, tears and toil to meet the expectations of my party. Gujarat wants change, Gujarat wants good education-healthcare. Gujarat wants Kejriwal.”

Gujarat in-charge Sandeep Pathak and state party leader Isudan Gadhvi also congratulated Chadha.
