Eye on Rajasthan polls, AAP to hold 2-day convention in Jaipur to ‘strengthen’ organisation

Party leaders also said that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator from Dwarka and former MP Mahabal Mishra’s son Vinay Mishra can be given the responsibility of Rajasthan during the convention.

The AAP is going to hold a two-day convention — ‘Vijay Utsav’ — and all party leaders and workers will take part in it to strengthen the organisation in Rajasthan, AAP’s state co-incharge Khemchand Jagirdar said.

“The party has started preparation for assembly election in Himachal Pradesh. Rajasthan is a neighbouring state of Punjab and is close to New Delhi. So to strengthen the organisation in the state, the party is holding a two-day convention,” Jagirdar said.

The party will soon announce the name its state president in Rajasthan, he added.

The AAP will also conduct a membership drive soon to give people an alternative to mainstream political parties in the state, they said.

In the 2018 Rajasthan assembly elections, AAP had fielded 142 candidates on the 200 seats and managed only 0.4 per cent of votes, without being able to win even a single seat.
