In a showdown against the BJP by the INDIA bloc, the AAP has ramped up preparations for a “maha rally” at the Ramlila Ground on March 31 in the backdrop of arrest of its leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Many prominent leaders of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc will join the mega rally in which lakhs of people will be present, Delhi unit AAP convener and minister Gopal Rai said in a press conference on Tuesday.
Rai said that preparations were underway for the mega rally for which ministers, MLAs and office bearers of the AAP were deployed as observers for monitoring the arrangements.
Social organisations, students outfits, traders bodies and resident welfare associations were also being sent invitations to join the rally, he said.
Rai said the party office bearers and councillors will hold meetings with the public at all polling stations across Delhi regarding preparations for the rally.
The observers will visit each Assembly constituency to take stock of the preparations, he added.
“If the dictatorial government in the country can arrest Chief Minister Kejriwal, it can do so with anyone raising voice against it. This fight has now become the fight of everyone and those who love democracy and the Constitution will join this fight,” Rai said.
The INDIA combine is confident that March 31 will be a “historic day” at the Ramlila Maidan, he added.
