Gopal Rai said this on AAP’s second list
Delhi Minister Gopal Rai said Monday that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is collecting micro-level input from all around the capital city in order to choose its second list of 20 candidates for the 2019 Delhi Assembly elections.
Notably, the Patparganj seat of former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has been replaced by the Arvind Kejriwal-led party. He is currently going to run from the seat of Jangpura.
“The names of eleven candidates were announced in the first list,” Gopal Rai told ANI. Twenty additional candidates were finalized today by the Political Affairs Committee (PAC), which is chaired by Arvind Kejriwal. By interacting with the public, we want to intensify the campaign and make sure the candidates go to the field as quickly as possible.”
“In the process of choosing candidates, micro-level input is being gathered from all around Delhi. Two well-known figures, Manish Sisodia and Rakhi Birla, have had their seats switched. We have selected our Councilors as candidates from the remaining 18 stated candidates. “The selection of candidates is based on their performance,” he said.
The candidate for Sisodia’s former Patparganj seat has been selected: Awadh Ojha.
The AAP has removed 17 incumbent MLAs from its second list of candidates in favor of fresh contenders.
Nonetheless, three well-known candidates have been renominated: Deepu Chaudhary, a prior contender who lost the last election, and Manish Sisodia and Rakhi Bidlan, both of whom are now MLAs.
According to a news release, the AAP women’s wing is holding small-scale meetings in each of Delhi’s 70 seats in advance of the Delhi Assembly elections. The purpose of these events is to engage with women directly and explain the welfare programs that the AAP-led Delhi government has put in place for them.
The announcement claims that the AAP has established 5,000 women’s clubs, each of which consists of eight members. Connecting with 10 ladies is the assignment assigned to each group. To guarantee the campaign’s success, these groups meet three to four times a day.
