Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia on Tuesday announced new office bearers of its Himachal Pradesh unit, which will be led by Surjit Singh Thakur. 

In April, the AAP had dissolved its Himachal Pradesh unit after its state president and many other leaders left the party and joined the BJP. 

“Aam Aadmi Party is continuously getting stronger in Himachal Pradesh. People across villages of Himachal are being attracted by the Kejriwal Model and joining the Aam Aadmi Party. In Himachal, the Aam Aadmi Party has formed a new team and organisation to further strengthen its roots in the state,” said Mr. Sisodia.

Mr. Sisodia said that ahead of formation of the new team, AAP workers reached out to 3,615 gram panchayats across the state and spoke to people to get an understanding of their issues.

“Everywhere, it was evident in conversations that people across state are irked with traditional parties BJP and Congress. Both parties did nothing while being in power and now people have lost trust in them,” he added.
