Digital Desk: The Aam Aadmi Party named Raghav Chadha, a Rajya Sabha member, as its Gujarat co-in-charge for the state Assembly elections later this year on Sunday.
The AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, had already selected Rajya Sabha member Sandeep Pathak as its Gujarat in charge.
Chadha had also served as the party's Punjab affairs co-in charge prior to the state's Assembly elections earlier this year.
The AAP had won the Punjab elections.
It has now established itself as the main rival of the BJP, which has ruled Gujarat for the past 27 years.
"Congratulations and best wishes to Rajya Sabha member and youth leader Raghav Chanda on his appointment as the "AAP' Gujarat sah-prabhari (co-in-charge")," AAP Gujarat tweeted.
"I thank @ArvindKejriwal ji for entrusting me with this enormous responsibility," Chadha said in reaction to his appointment. I will give my blood, sweat, tears, and toil to meet my party's expectations. Gujarat desires change, and Gujarat desires quality education and healthcare. Gujarat desires Kejriwal."
Gujarat chief Sandeep Pathak and state party head Isudan Gadhvi congratulated Chadha as well.
Chadha hinted at the increased role on Friday.
"Gujarat is looking for a change. I am ready to take on any role the party assigns me, and I will battle hard against the BJP's 27 years of mismanagement "He'd tweeted about it.
In reaction to his post, the state party leadership welcomed him to Gujarat.
Chadha slammed the BJP during his last visit to Gujarat on August 31, after Gujarat AAP general secretary Manoj Sorathiya was attacked in Surat, and claimed the state Assembly elections will be a battle between the "false Gujarat model" and the "genuine Kejriwal governance model."
To entice Gujarat voters, the AAP is displaying its "Delhi model."
Its national convener, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, visited Gujarat several times recently to hold meetings and town halls with the public in various cities of the state, offering several "guarantees," including free electricity up to 300 units per month and a Rs 3,000 unemployment allowance.
