Aam Aadmi Party founder Arvind Kejriwal speaking at the National Council meeting of AAP in Delhi announced that it will participate in the assembly elections scheduled in all six states including Goa within the next two years and urged party volunteers to strengthen the party organization to take the party to the people who are just waiting for it.
“AAP governance in Delhi is by now known to all and people want the same kind of governance in their own States,” he said while telling party workers that it is their responsibility now to take the party to these people so that they can vote for it.
AAP Goa convener Rahul Mhambre said in Goa the party has done much work and is prepared to face the elections. He pointed out that the Veej Andolan currently on in Goa is producing excellent results as not only it attracts large crowds but there are many people joining the party.
“During the pandemic and the resultant lockdown, we launched the oximeter distribution scheme in Goa where we would give oximeters to people specially in wards so that all could check their oxygen levels,” he said while pointing out that the ruling government then adopted the programme.
Rahul also disclosed that the Congress Party had mooted a proposal for an alliance with AAP in Goa which was outright rejected by them even as the crowd started shouting that the Congress should stop calling AAP the B team of BJP.
He thanked Arvind Kejriwal for his guidance and the Delhi team for all its support to AAP in Goa and expressed confidence that AAP will form the next government in Goa when elections are held in 2022.
He said AAP will contest the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakand, Goa, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat which are bound to be held in the next two years and said the people are ready for the party.
Arvind Kejriwal pointed out that all the three elections in Delhi were historic and said the last was particularly so as the party contested it on the platform of work done and development and said now all over India people want free electricity and water supply besides schools and government clinics like in Delhi.
