In view of municipal polls in Delhi scheduled next year, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched a massive ‘MCD Badlaav’ campaign under which the party will begin a door-to-door membership campaign from Sunday.
The campaign seeks to reach voters in each and every ward and was jointly launched by senior AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai in presence of party workers, MLAs, councillors and office bearers at the party's headquarters.
Addressing the media, AAP senior leader Manish Sisodia said that the AAP is not a party, it is a movement; every party in the country is trying to copy us. “We have to change the politics of this country. The Delhi government under Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal so far in education, healthcare and other sectors, and exhorted the people to vote for the AAP in the upcoming elections to bring the party at the helm of affairs at the municipal corporations in Delhi,” he said.
Sisodia said that the membership drive is beginning tomorrow to reach every one. “Those who won't work will be counted in negative. You must keep in mind that big brother is watching. Just by making attendance and sharing picture on Facebook and WhatsApp will not help," he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Rai targeted the ruling BJP on the issue of alleged corruption in civic bodies and said the saffron party has given two gifts to the people of Delhi during its 15 years regime -- "three garbage mountains and extortion in every lane" of the city.
"To bring change in Delhi municipal corporations, a ‘maha abhiyan’(massive campaign) is starting from today to oust the corrupt BJP from power," he said.
As part of the 'MCD Badlaav' campaign, a massive membership drive will be rolled out on Sunday; he said and asked his party leaders and workers to ensure its success.
Rai, who is convenor of the AAP's Delhi unit, also gave his party leaders and workers a target of making at least 50 lakh people members of the party under the ‘MCD Badlaav’ campaign.
