The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced that it will contest in as many seats as possible in the upcoming Nagaland assembly polls. This is a significant announcement, as the AAP has not previously contested elections in Nagaland.
The Aam Aadmi Party will contest in as many seats as possible in the upcoming Nagakand assembly polls, its Northeast In Charge Rajesh Sharma said. He also said that former MLA Asu Keyho has been made the president of the Nagaland unit of AAP.
“We will contest in as many seats as possible… and there will be no pre-poll alliance,” Sharma told a press conference here. “Time has come for the people of Nagaland to vote for good governance, honest politics and and overall development of the state with the elimination of corruption,” he said on Wednesday evening.
Sharma also expressed hope that the party will go to the grassroots to bring the required change in the political scenario of Nagaland.
The AAP’s decision to contest in Nagaland is part of its larger strategy to expand its national presence. The party has already made significant inroads in states such as Punjab and Delhi, and it is now looking to expand its reach to other parts of the country, including the Northeast.
The AAP’s entry into the Nagaland assembly polls could shake up the political landscape in the state. The state has been traditionally dominated by the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) and the Naga People’s Front (NPF). However, the AAP’s focus on issues such as education, healthcare, and corruption could appeal to voters who are disillusioned with the traditional parties.
It remains to be seen how well the AAP will perform in the Nagaland assembly polls. However, the party’s decision to contest in the state is a sign of its growing ambitions and its desire to become a national force.
Overall, it is too early to say how well the AAP will perform in the Nagaland assembly polls. However, the party’s entry into the state could shake up the political landscape and make the elections more interesting.
