The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday launched the party’s war room for the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) election to monitor activities such as the nomination process, campaigning and social media campaign.
The 250-ward MCD goes to polls on December 4 and the counting of votes will take place on December 7.
The party’s Delhi unit convener Gopal Rai launched the war room and predicted a landslide victory for the AAP. “This war room is being launched to intensify the party’s preparations for the upcoming MCD elections. We will use this war room to monitor 10 activities related to the polls,” he said.
“The first will be to track activities related to the ‘Jan Samvaad’, taking place in over 13,000 booths. It will look into issues of scheduling, prepare the list of speakers for these events and send out invitations to local residents,” Rai said.
The second activity that the war room will engage in is the nomination process.
“We will create a team of lawyers that will engage with the central team as well as with those members who will be at the Vidhan Sabha with the aim to ensure that the nomination process at all the 250 seats happens without any problems,” he said.
The war room will have a team dealing with the Election Commission and engage in getting the permissions required for all the party’s events. Another team will be engaged in the planning and other necessary requirements of the party’s star campaigners, Rai said.
