With a landslide victory in the Delhi state assembly elections , the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has now set its sights on Mumbai’s civic body polls
 
The 227 member Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is one of the richest civic bodies in India with an annual budget of more than RS.30,000 crore. It is currently ruled by the Shiv Sena – Bharatiya Janata Party alliance.
 
AAP’s national executive member Mayank Gandhi said the party has set up separate committees for 36 Assembly constituencies in Mumbai and 227 wards of the BMC.
 
 
“AAP will focus on strengthening the party organisation and appeal to the voters for overwhelming support. The party will lay emphasis on participation of Mumbaikars for the resolution of issues faced by them,” Gandhi told Business Standard.
 
Further, AAP will launch the Swaraj Abhiyan to increase its presence in rural Maharashtra. “A separate committee will soon be formed to take up issues relating to farmer suicides and apathy towards agricultural labourers,” he said.
