AAP plays trump card appoints IIT Prof Sandeep Pathak as Himachal Co incharge
Aam Aadmi Party ( AAP ) spokesperson SS Jogata on Saturday announced that its Rajya Sabha member Dr Sandeep Pathak as co incharge of Himachal Pradesh ahead of crucial assembly elections in the state. Issuing a letter , National Secretary Pankaj Gupta announced that Pathak , who had played a crucial role in the thumping victory of the party in Punjab elections , will now be the co – incharge of HP . He had helped AAP to build an organizational structure down to the booth level in Punjab, which led the party to win 92 of the 117 Assembly seats. Dr Pathak is a close confidante of party supremo Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal , a party spokesperson said . Scientist and former IIT Delhi professor and Rajya Sabha member Pathak also led AAP’s triumph in the Delhi assembly elections. Considering his excellent electoral strategical record, the party is banking on him to strengthen the party base ahead for the upcoming assembly elections in the state. He said that the reticent politician and Cambridge PhD holder is termed “Chanakya” of the AAP and the party has now given him the responsibility to form AAP’s government in the hilly state. The said AAP’s office bearers and workers have been working industriously in Himachal and they have exposed the blatant lies of the BJP on various issues including health education and employment in the state. Rattled by this , he said , the BJP framed AAP’s in – charge of the Himachal Pradesh election Satyendra Jain in a baseless case.
