Early Times Report
Jammu, July 31: Nearly a month has been passed after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has dissolved its Jammu and Kashmir unit but the party leadership is hesitating to announce new officer bearers.
When existing body of AAP was dissolved on July 4, it was announced that new office bearers would be announce within a week’s time but nothing has done so far.
Highly placed sources in the AAP said that party leadership is hesitating to announce new body due to infighting and prevailing anger among those who have been associate with AAP since long.
“Imposing new entrants on the senior leaders, who have been working for the last five years would be proved counter productive for the party so AAP leadership is in a delima to announce new body”, sources said.
As reported earlier the AAP on July 4 had dissolved its Jammu and Kashmir unit to revamp the organization structure in the Union Territory ahead of the polls.
Buoyed by the joining of some prominent political faces in the party, AAP leadership has decided to accommodate new entrants into the organization.
With the joining of three former legislators of the Jammu and Kashmir Panthers Party, AAP has already received a big boost in its expansion plan in Jammu and Kashmir.
Three-time MLA and former education minister Harsh Dev Singh joined the AAP on May 7 along with nearly 100 members including some elected Panchayat members.
Before joining Harsh Dev Singh, two former legislators of the party Balwant Singh Mankotia and Yash Paul Kundal joined the party in New Delhi on April 10
Along with them, more than 100 local leaders, including village heads, and members of the block development council (BDC) and district development council (DDC), also joined the party in the presence of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Environment Minister Gopal Rai.
Mankotia is a two-time MLA from Udhampur and resigned from the Panthers Party in February 2021, citing a "family issue". Kundal, another Panthers Party leader, is also a two-time MLA and former minister.
DDC member Taranjit Singh Tony and former Congress leader Surinder Singh Shingari were among the prominent faces who joined the Arvind Kejriwal-led party.
“Jammu & Kashmir is ready to welcome the change. Aam Aadmi Party has grown immensely in the region in the recent past. To strengthen the organization, all current units in Jammu and Kashmir are dissolved with immediate effect. The new organization will be announced soon”, Punjab Minister Harjot Singh Bains, who is the election in-charge of Jammu province had tweeted.
Bains has recently visited different parts of Jammu province and interacted with office bearers and other senior leaders of the party. |
