Manish Sisodia to lead AAP campaign in Haryana ahead of State Assembly election, post bail in corruption cases.
Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will visit Haryana to lead the party’s campaign ahead of the State Assembly election, AAP said on Monday.
“We have already held 45 public meetings in Haryana and have convened a gathering in every village of the State. Now, we will hold meetings on a larger scale. Manish Sisodia will also go to Haryana to campaign,” said AAP general secretary Sandeep Pathak.
The announcement comes a day after the party announced that the former Deputy CM will hold a padayatra from August 14 and spearhead preparations for the Delhi Assembly election scheduled early next year. The senior AAP leader held his first meeting with the party’s Delhi MLAs on Monday and discussed plans for the upcoming Delhi poll.
The party’s top brass has been holding discussions over the future role for Mr. Sisodia since August 9, when he was granted bail by the Supreme Court in the corruption cases linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy for 2021-22.
Mr. Sisodia also met senior party leaders at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence in Civil Lines. Mr. Pathak said several subjects were touched upon during the discussions held during the meeting, including “BJP’s attempt to break and buy AAP MLAs”.
He said the party has been holding several ‘Vikas Sabhas’ in Delhi. “So far, Vikas Sabhas have been held in close to 25 Assembly constituencies,” he said.
Meanwhile, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said Mr. Sisodia should have asked his fellow representatives why basic amenities are missing in the city and “why corruption is rampant everywhere”.
