NEW DELHI:
Influenced by the historic work being done by the Kejriwal Government in all areas including schools, hospitals, electricity, water, roads and WiFi, people are constantly joining the Aam Aadmi Party. In this sequence, AAP Senior Leader and MLA Ms Atishi inducted several former Congress leaders including former Block President Harcharan Singh, Block Vice-President Amardeep Singh, DPCC Member Samrat Singh along with their supporters in the Aam Aadmi Party
AAP Senior Leader and MLA Ms Atishi said, “Rajinder Nagar Legislative Assembly By-elections are about to be held and people have shown immense support to CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal in all the areas we have visited. Everybody is of staunch opinion that the Kejriwal Government has done remarkable work and they want to see an AAP MLA as their representative from the Rajinder Nagar constituency. People who were actively involved in social work or politics and wanted to see a change in the area are volunteering to join AAP. They want to see an MLA from Shri Arvind Kejriwal’s team so that the wheel of development keeps rotating faster and faster. In this sequence, a veteran leader from the area Shri Harcharan Singh who was a Congress member for the past 30 years is joining AAP today. He was the President of the Anand Parbat Block Committee. From 1983 to 2019, he was the election agent for various Congress leaders which include Krishna Tirath, Sunil Bajaj, Yadav and Ajay Maken. He played a crucial role in all the campaigns of the Congress party. He has also held the membership of the Delhi Labour Board and Leprosy Commission and has a reputation for taking up social causes in the area. We welcome him to AAP with open hearts.”
She added, “Another senior leader, Shri Amardeep Singh is also joining the AAP. He was the General Secretary of Rajinder Nagar Ward Congress. He was also Vice-Chairman of Delhi Sports Cell for 5 years and he was the Block Vice-President of Rajinder Nagar Ward before leaving the Congress.”
She concluded, “Shri Samrat Singh. Member of DPCC and is well known for his social service in the WEA area. Today, all these three leaders are joining AAP after exiting Congress. They are of a strong belief that the wind of change brought by the Kejriwal Government should reach Rajinder Nagar as well. We welcome them to AAP.”
Shri Harcharan Singh also spoke at the occasion. He said, “I am a Postgraduate in Commerce from Delhi School of Economics and afterwards, I worked at the Ministry of Foreign Trade for 4 years. I am of that school of thought that the governments should keep voters as their priority and work in their interest. I have been observing the work ethics of the Kejriwal Government and I came to a conclusion that his party is working for the welfare of the public in a manner which matches my ideology. Congress gave loud slogans like “Gareebi Hatao” but they never walked their talk as the execution of their plans was missing by a significant margin. The Kejriwal Government executed what it planned, what it aspired to achieve for the people of Delhi. I want to make my contribution to this ideology and see the wishes of the people getting fulfilled by executing AAP’s plans more effectively.”
