AAP's National Council To Meet Today To Discuss Expansion, Poll Strategy

The meeting assumes significance as it comes close after assembly polls in Gujarat, where the AAP secured nearly 13% vote share, becoming eligible for getting National Party status.

All elected representatives of the AAP and its key office bearers from various states will discuss the party's pan-India expansion plan at its National Council meeting chaired by party convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday.

The Council will discuss at length the efforts taken so far to strengthen the AAP's base in different parts of the country and devise the party's strategy for the upcoming assembly polls due to be held in various states next year, with an eye on the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, party sources told PTI.

The meeting to be attended by all 10 Rajya Sabha MPs of the AAP and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will also discuss the issue of "inflation, unemployment, and Chinese incursion” and pass separate resolutions on them, the sources said.

The meeting, which is expected to start at 10 am at a resort in Kapashera, assumes significance as it comes close after the just-concluded assembly polls in Gujarat, where the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won five seats and secured nearly 13 percent vote share, becoming eligible for getting National Party status by the Election Commission.
