The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) volunteers are taking out cycle rallies all over the city — with placards and banners — showcasing the party’s specific promises to the youth. “The placards carry party promises such as drug-free Delhi, free Wi-Fi, incubation centres for young entrepreneurs, education loans and setting up of 20 new colleges,” said Vansh Saluja, an AAP volunteer.
The campaign involves the use of BRT cycles, hired in bulk at a discount price of Rs150-200, and rickshaws plying around the city. The cycle-rickshaws, have volunteers sitting with placards announcing the policies. While some rickshaw drivers offer voluntary services, others charge a nominal amount, he said. The AAP plans to hold more such rallies in the last leg of the campaigning so as to spread their message through such innovative ideas.
A brainchild of the youth and the women’s wing of the party, the campaign drew good response in various constituencies of Delhi like Kasturba Nagar, New Delhi, RK Puram, Kalkaji, etc.
