New Delhi :
With the MCD elections around the corner, the Aam Aadmi Party is preparing for a large-scale MCD Badlaav Campaign which will be launched on 2nd December, Party State Convenor Gopal Rai informed. Different responsibilities have been assigned to the office-bearers of the party for this. The preparations for the Badlaav campaign started on 27th November.
A special app will be used to upload all the campaign details. Gopal Rai added that an in-charge would be appointed in each division who would be responsible for conducting the MCD Badlaav Campaign. On 5th December, teams in every division of Delhi will launch the MCD Badlaav Campaign at the ground level by placing tables. AAP National Secretary Pankaj Gupta said that their main aim is to have at least one in-charge in every division. Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Gopal Rai addressed a virtual meeting on Friday. He said, “In view of the MCD elections, we are going to launch a big membership drive soon.
In this MCD Badlaav Campaign, we will upload the data through a special app to streamline the data and for efficient work. The training for this app will be given by Pankaj Gupta Ji, Adil Ji, and Anuj Ji at the party office on November 27. Yesterday, the district teams of the Party’s State Organisation, observers, and the speaker and organization ministers from each assembly were trained at the party office on how to carry the MCD Badlaav Campaign forward.” He continued, “For 4 days, between 28th November to 1st December, a planning meeting in all the Vidhan Sabha will be fixed by every Lok Sabha and District Presidents.
Meetings will be held after discussion with the MLAs and other people present there. Two things have to be completed in that meeting. One, about who will be in charge of the change campaign from each of our Mandals. When I am talking about the in-charge, it is to be kept in mind that this post will be in addition to the Mandal President. They could be an office-bearer of the Legislative Assembly or a ward-level office-bearer or a Vidhansabha-level office-bearer of the Centre.
Two, those who are our responsible colleagues, who are working in other positions, also have to be made in charge of the board. Their responsibility is to successfully complete the MCD change campaign.” Giving more information about the launch of MCD Badlaav Campaign, Gopal Rai said, “Everyone will be given complete training on the app, how to operate the app and how to upload the data on it in a meeting. These meetings will be held on 28th, 29th, 30th, and 1st. On 2nd December, we will launch this at the Central level. In this, everyone from the high-level people to the Mandal President will be called to the party office. So by calling all those people who are in charge of the Mandals and those who are becoming Mandal President, we will launch this MCD Badlaav Campaign before the central media on 2nd December.
After this, on December 5, our desks will be set up in every Mandal. If 5th is a Sunday, then on that day in every division of Delhi, our teams will launch this change campaign at the ground level by setting up desks.” He continued, “At the launch, all the party members, all the MLAs, all the councilors, all the frontal office-bearers, wherever they are, will be taking up their responsibilities in the campaign and playing their respective roles.
They will get the design of posters and hoardings before the central launch on the 2nd and our outdoor campaign to put up posters and hoardings in all the Legislative Assemblies will be completed before the 2nd day. So in this, we will add new members. After the MCD Badlaav Campaign, all the organization ministers will meet the new members of MCD Badlaav Campaign booth-wise and give them responsibility so that those people can also become a part of our organization active in this.”
He said, “This is a major campaign, so we want every booth to have at least 4-5 lanes, so we have to decide through this MCD Badlaav Campaign that we have at least 8-10 people in every street. These people will further our campaign and its awareness in their respective streets, to ensure good connectivity. We will try to recognise our correct and potential new members. They can be identified according to the streets.
So that later we will be able to make them the organization officers at the level of that street through which we will conduct further activities.” AAP National Secretary Pankaj Gupta said, “As Gopal Ji said that we have to reach every street, every gully, and our effort is to ensure that enough people take charge and be appointed to oversee the efforts. We have to add so many people that there are about 50 names on every page in every booth.
Out of them at least two people should be the ones to whom we can give responsibility. This is our aim. This time we will go ahead keeping this in mind because every time we try to access different divisions, booths get blocked. That's why Arvind Ji has given a special responsibility that we can go beyond the booth to reach even smaller groups of people. We will come up with a good name for that too. You have to take responsibility to think of a name.”
