The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after bagging 20 seats in the Punjab Assembly elections and getting the status of the main opposition party and getting recognised as a State party in Goa has intensified efforts to strengthen its organisation in the whole country.
The Central leadership is laying special emphasis on Odisha. Keeping in view the decreasing support to the BJD and the favourable political environment the party is making every effort to be a political alternative in the State. In the first phase, the AAP has begun groundwork in 60 constituencies and holding deliberations with different people and leadership of different parties having a clean image.
In this connection, top party leaders Ashutosh and Sanjay Singh will be on a three-day visit to the State from March 27. During their visit they are slated to address a gathering of 10,000 farmers in Balangir, demanding reopening of Deogaon sugar mill and also hold discussions to strengthen the party organisation. They will also address the media. The party is bracing up for the 2019 Assembly elections from now, said a release of the State unit of AAP.
