After the drubbing in the Lok Sabha polls, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), that has already publicly expressed its desire for re-elections in Delhi, is trying its best to reclaim ground in the Capital. In an apparent attempt at regaining voters’ confidence, it has decided on channelising all energies on “strengthening ties at the booth level.”
The party has also decided to conduct regular meetings with the voters to receive feedback and to answer their queries on Party leader Arvind Kejriwal’s decision to quit the post of Delhi Chief Minister in February this year. The party MLAs are already holding a series of ‘mohalla sabhas’ to connect with the aam aadmi.
Also, considering the recent spate of resignations by party members, AAP is concentrating on “strengthening internal party politics.” AAP has also decided to renominate almost all its 27 sitting legislators if Delhi goes to polls.
The party also hinted that it might bring in new faces from the seats from where it had lost. For instance, seats like Laxmi Nagar and Rajouri Garden, are sure to get new faces. Although it won Laxmi Nagar seat in the assembly election, it is being represented by expelled AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny.
AAP MLAs claimed that by conducting these meetings and talking to people, they are now AAP tries to reclaim lost ground in city at a better position to understand the problems in their constituencies.
