AAP planning volunteers' meet in Goa on May 23

Panaji, May 17: In view of Assembly elections in Goa next year, Aam Aadmi Party is mulling to organise a volunteers' meet here next week, a day after Delhi Chief Minister and party convener Arvind Kejriwal's scheduled rally in the coastal state.

"We are planning a volunteers' meet on Monday a day after Kejriwal's public rally. The meet is still being finalised," AAP's media coordinator for Goa, Rupesh Shinkre told PTI today. Kejriwal is scheduled to address his firstever public meeting after formation of AAP at Campal Ground here.

AAP, which has kicked off the 'Goa Jodo' campaign ahead of elections, will take the drive to next level after Kejriwal's rally on Sunday. "'Goa Jodo' campaign will go to next level after Kejriwal's public meeting. Wait for the announcement...we have a lot of things lined up to reach to the people," Shinkre said.

After romping home in Delhi Assembly elections last year, the AAP has not set its eye on the coastal state with Kejriwal earlier stating in an online video that 'it's time to change Goa'.

Goa is ruled by the BJP-led government with Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party as its alliance partner while the opposition bloc comprises 14 MLAs, including three Independents, nine legislators from Congress and two from Goa Vikas Party.
