Chandigarh, February 21

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will organise a series of meetings in all four zones of the state from Monday to review the local bodies’ elections and hold discussions on strengthening the party.

A statement issued from the party headquarters said the AAP leadership would conduct meetings with all office-bearers, local leaders and MC candidates from Monday to analyse the condition of the organisation and discuss a strategy to strengthen the party for the upcoming 2022 Assembly elections.

These meetings would be convened under the leadership of AAP state president and MP Bhagwant Mann, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema, party Punjab in-charge Jarnail Singh and co-in-charge Raghav Chadha. The statement said AAP had contested the municipal elections for the first time and got a good response from the people.

“The response from the people in urban areas was overwhelming, an area which was traditionally weak for the party. However, seeing a major scope of improvement, the AAP leadership will conduct zone-wise meetings,” reads the statement.

AAP said the primary aim of the meeting would be to meet all stakeholders involved in the local bodies’ polls and motivate them to keep fighting for the people. AAP said the meetings with office-bearers, local leaders and MC candidates would encourage them. The local leaders would be encouraged to work harder to make a better and prosperous Punjab. The statement further said the people still saw AAP as the only alternative that could bring about a real change in the state.
