Mangalore, Feb 13: The Dakshina Kannada district unit of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is all set to make its presence felt in the coastal region of Karnataka.
Announcing the launch of the party's district unit on Friday, joint convener of the unit Srinivas Nandagopal said that the unit would be officially launched by renowned political analyst and national executive member Prof Yoginder Yadav at a public meeting in Kadri Park in the city.
The monthly newsletter of the party unit will be released on the occasion, and Prof Yadav will deliver a lecture on 'Democratic Reforms and Electoral Politics'. With the recently-formed ad-hoc preparatory committee in the district, deliberations will be held with a state team headed by Prof Yadav and Karnataka state convener Prithvi Reddy, as part of the party's 'Mission Buniyaad' intending to strengthen party units at grassroots levels in the country, he said.
He said that the district unit would need to chalk out plans for the coming days, which included taking up various youth related issues such as the recent case of Sneha upadhyaya's death, increasing hold of drugs on youth, the Soujanya rape and murder case, among others.
The party's first target is the Delhi Assembly polls in December, where almost 2000 volunteers from South India have come to support the party. In the local level, the Mangalore City Corporation will be the perfect launch pad for the party in the district. The committee has started a women's as well as a students' wing. Units of the party have been active in Dakshina Kannada, Bangalore, Udupi and Mysore, and also Gulbarga, Bidar, Belgaum and other districts, he said.
Convener Robert Rosario, Secretary Rohan Shiri, conveners of Mangalore Assembly segment Sajith and Roshan were present.
