AAP makes Manish Sisodia Punjab affairs in-charge

In a major restructuring of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia was on Friday appointed the party's incharge for Punjab while Satyendra Jain was given the role of co-incharge.

A meeting of the party's Political Affairs Committee was held at the house of AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal here, where a series of key decisions were taken.

Former Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, who recently lost the Delhi Assembly election from Greater Kailash was appointed the party's convener for Delhi, replacing Gopal Rai.

Rai, meanwhile, has been made in-charge of Gujarat. For Goa and Jammu and Kashmir, Pankaj Gupta and Mehraj Malik, respectively, were given the key responsibilities.

Announcing the key decisions, AAP MP Sandeep Pathak said a discussion was also held on the BJP's poll promises for Delhi.

"The way the Prime Minister had claimed that Rs 2,500 would be deposited in every woman's account after the first cabinet meeting....This is unfortunate for the country's politics...We will keep working for the people," Pathak said.
