AAP has named Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and other prominent leaders who would campaign in Himachal Pradesh for the election.
The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday released the names of 20 star campaigners for the upcoming Himachal Pradesh election scheduled to take place in November. In a list released on Friday, the party has named Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, Delhi Education Minister Satyender Jain, Raghav Chadha, Sanjay Singh Durgesh Pathak and others.
Satyendra Jain is the election in-charge of AAP in Himachal Pradesh. AAP is striving hard to make inroads ahead of the polls slated for the end of this year for the 68-member BJP-ruled assembly.
The party has promised free and quality education for Himachal Pradesh students if voted to power in the upcoming Assembly poll in the state. The party, which is currently ruling the neighbouring Punjab and Delhi, has also stated that all schools in the state will be made excellent on the lines of Delhi.
AAP has also said that private schools will not be allowed to hike fees illegally, temporary teachers will be regularised, vacant posts of teacher will be filled and they won’t be given any non-teaching work.
Himachal goes to polls on November 12 and the counting of votes will take place on December 8. The papers will be scrutinised on October 27 and the last date for their withdrawal is October 29. For decades, Himachal Pradesh has had a record of voting out the party in power every election and the ruling BJP is aiming to change this trend.
The BJP had won a majority in the 2017 Assembly polls with 44 seats in the 68-member Assembly.
