AAP Gujarat state president, Gopal Italia announced the party’s decision in this regard at a press conference in Ahmedabad and said that soon a bigger and new structure will be put in place keeping an eye on the upcoming Gujarat state assembly elections, likely to be held in December this year.

He thanked all the outgoing officials of the state executive and other committees and said that the new structure will be formed to put in full efforts to win the upcoming state elections.

“We visited the 182 assembly constituencies during the recently concluded Parivartan Yatra and we believe that the soon to be announced new structure will be much bigger and will instill new life in the party activities in the state. With this decision we are looking for a bigger win,” said Italia.

People familiar with the matter said that the process of identifying new talent and faces has been going on for the past three months after AAP Rajya Sabha MP Dr Sandeep Pathak took charge as the party’s state in-charge.

Kejriwal during his recent visit to Mehsana gave the green signal for the overhaul in the Gujarat unit, people familiar with the matter said.
