AAP to contest all 68 seats in Himachal

UNA, SEPTEMBER 19

The Aam Aadmi Party today opened its office here. State party in-charge Ratnesh Gupta inaugurated the office in the presence of local party workers at a rented building on the Amb road.

Talking to mediapersons, Ratnesh Gupta said the party would field its candidates on all 68 seats in the next elections. He said the Congress had lost its base in the country and the infighting within the party came to the fore in Punjab where the Chief Minister quit his post on the charges of humiliation at the hands of senior leaders.

The AAP leader said the BJP too had been witnessing organisational problems as seen in Gujarat, adding that the people in BJP-ruled states were not happy.

Gupta said the party would come with a powerful agenda during the Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh. He said the ‘Delhi Model’ of governance would be followed here.

He said people were fed up with politics on the basis of religion and they wanted development. State AAP president Anup Kesari was also present. — OC
