Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday launched the Delhi unit of the party’s Gramin Morcha (rural cell). This was part of the ongoing drive to set up frontal organisations to expand the party base among different sections of the society. Hari Ram Khatri will be the president of the Delhi unit of AAP Gramin Morcha and Siddharth Malik will be its general secretary. A team of 20 office-bearers was announced along with these two main office-bearers. An advisory body was also announced to guide this organisation.
This unit will focus on the problems faced by the people residing in rural areas of the Capital and allow them the benefits, which the people of Delhi are entitled to. Kejriwal also announced a series of measures which the AAP will implement once its government is formed in Delhi after the Assembly elections. The AAP proposes to introduce local development fund at the village level.
The party promises to remove all sections from the Delhi land Reforms Act which provide for punishment to farmers, since penal provisions to deal with farmers are a highly retrograde step.Kejriwal informed the gathering about the party promise to open 20 new colleges in rural areas of Delhi and construction of stadiums to promote talent.
