New Delhi: In the run up to the Lok Sabha elections next year, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), on Friday, appointed five Lok Sabha in-charges for parliamentary constituencies in the national capital. The move, according to the ruling party, will further strengthen AAP’s presence in the capital.
“Five senior leaders of the party have been assigned separate parliamentary constituencies for micro focus on the Parliament seats and for strengthening the organisation further on the seats assigned,” the party said in a statement.
The five names announced as Lok Sabha in-charges include Pankaj Gupta (Chandni Chowk), Dilip Kumar Pandey (Northeast Delhi), Raghav Chadha (South Delhi), Atishi Marlena (East Delhi), and Guggan Singh Ranga (Northwest Delhi).
“We are appointing them as prabharis in order to further strengthen the party at the booth level. They will focus on further building up the organisation in the respective Lok Sabha seats,” said AAP’s Delhi convener, Gopal Rai.
It is believed that the Lok Sabha in-charges could emerge as frontrunners for being considered as candidates from the constituencies assigned to them. There has been speculation about Ms Marlena being considered a candidate from East Delhi constituency. She is a member of the PACand has played a vital role as a consultant for the government’s initiatives in the field of education.
