Arora, a prominent Hindu face of AAP in Punjab, will be the president of the party’s state unit and MLA Amansher Singh Sherry Kalsi will be its working president. After getting the responsibility, Arora said that first of all I would like to thank God.
In Punjab, AAP led by Arvind Kejriwal has brought about major changes in the party. AAP on Friday appointed New and Renewable Energy Minister Aman Arora as the new president of its state unit. The development comes a month after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said he would talk to the AAP leadership on the appointment of a full-time president of the party’s state unit and expressed his desire to step down from the post.
Arora, a prominent Hindu face of AAP in Punjab, will be the president of the party’s state unit and MLA Amansher Singh Sherry Kalsi will be its working president. After getting the responsibility, Arora said that first of all I would like to thank God. I would also like to thank AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Sandeep Pathak and the entire Political Affairs Committee. He said that I think it is a matter of great honor for us. I want to assure the leadership of my party that we will work hard and take the work of the government to the people, and bring the issues of the people to the government and get them resolved.
The by-elections became necessary after the sitting MLAs were elected to the Lok Sabha earlier this year. These by-elections are being seen as a litmus test for Mann, whose government has completed two and a half years of its tenure. The Chief Minister posted on Instagram that today I have handed over the responsibility of party president to my two close colleagues, Cabinet Minister Aman Arora and MLA Amansher Singh Sheri Kalsi. The party has decided that Aman Arora will serve as the party president and Sherry Kalsi as the working president.
He wrote that I have full confidence in both my colleagues that they will strengthen the party and organization in Punjab in the coming times and take it to new heights. After addressing a rally in Chabbewal last month, Bhagwant Mann had said that he has been holding the post of party president in Punjab for seven years. He said that being the Chief Minister, I have big responsibilities. I have 13-14 departments. I will talk to the party to appoint a full-time state unit chief so that responsibilities can be divided.
