AAP announces new office bearers of Himachal Pradesh unit
The Hindu
After the AAP dissolved its Himachal Pradesh unit in April when many leaders left the party to join the BJP, the party has announced new office bearers to the state unit.
Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia on Tuesday announced new office bearers of its Himachal Pradesh unit, which will be led by Surjit Singh Thakur.
In April, the AAP had dissolved its Himachal Pradesh unit after its state president and many other leaders left the party and joined the BJP.
“Aam Aadmi Party is continuously getting stronger in Himachal Pradesh. People across villages of Himachal are being attracted by the Kejriwal Model and joining the Aam Aadmi Party. In Himachal, the Aam Aadmi Party has formed a new team and organisation to further strengthen its roots in the state,” said Mr. Sisodia.
Mr. Sisodia said that ahead of formation of the new team, AAP workers reached out to 3,615 gram panchayats across the state and spoke to people to get an understanding of their issues.
“Everywhere, it was evident in conversations that people across state are irked with traditional parties BJP and Congress. Both parties did nothing while being in power and now people have lost trust in them,” he added.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
