AAP to hold mega rally in Bhopal on March 14, CM Mann and Kejriwal to attend

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann will address a rally in Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal on Tuesday.

Assembly elections are due in Madhya Pradesh later this year and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is working hard to mobilise a crowd of one lakh at the rally.
AAP hopes that it will make its mark in Madhya Pradesh politics. In Madhya Pradesh, there has been a fight between two parties Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress so far. The BJP has been in power for most of the last two decades except for 15 months.
A party spokesperson said that the AAP has enrolled over five lakh members since the campaign was launched by the party’s organisational general secretary Sandeep Pathak on February 4.
Pathak, considered one of AAP’s strategists in Punjab and Gujarat, has visited Bhopal, Indore, Rewa, Gwalior and Jabalpur as part of preparations for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections.
The AAP, which recently announced that it will contest all 230 assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh, is enthused by its performance in the local body polls in July-August last year. The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP has claimed to have secured 6.3 per cent vote share in its first civic body elections in Madhya Pradesh.
