AAP to contest civic body polls with dedication: Party head

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) state president, Dr Sushil Gupta, said the party would contest the civic body polls "strongly" and "expose" the BJP during the elections.

“The AAP will contest the MC elections with full dedication and emerge victorious. People now realise that only the AAP can defeat the BJP as it focuses on issue-based politics,” said Gupta.

He was chairing a meeting of the state-level office-bearers in Karnal to discuss organisational strengthening, upcoming municipal elections and the Delhi Assembly elections.

He said the party would contest all upcoming elections, including those of panchayat samitis, zila parishads and civic bodies, with the goal of offering a strong alternative to the BJP.

He said the AAP would raise the issues of BJP's "misgovernance" among people. Dr Gupta emphasised the party's commitment to expanding its influence across Haryana and strengthening its grassroots organisation in every district. He said the party workers and leaders would actively campaign in the Delhi elections, ensuring victory for the AAP government there.

During the meeting, prominent party leaders, including Randeep Rana, BK Kaushik, Narendra Sharma, Jaipal Sharma and others, also addressed the gathering.
