Arvind Kejriwal to launch 'AK app' to connect with party workers

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will kickstart preparations for the Delhi assembly election on Wednesday with the launch of "AK" mobile app that will help him connect with AAP volunteers, senior party leader Gopal Rai said on Tuesday. Rai said from Wednesday Kejriwal will also hold 14 closed-door meetings called zila sammelan with Aam Aadmi Party volunteers in different parts of the city. "After the meetings to maintain direct communication with volunteers, the chief minister will launch the "AK" app tomorrow. Through the app, he will stay connected with volunteers across the country," the AAP Delhi in-charge said. Stepping up his digital presence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in 2015 launched a similar mobile application, Narendra Modi app (Namo), to provide instant updates to people and an opportunity to receive messages and emails directly from him. The BJP has also used it as first-hand feedback and workflow system for party workers. Preparations on! The Aam Aadmi Party, which was defeated in the Lok Sabha polls and was ranked third in most of the constituencies, also announced the appointment of booth level volunteers as well 1,40,000 Vijay Pramukh who will reach out to people and explain to them the party's policies and achievements to enhance its voter base. "Last month, we did 'Jan Samvaad' campaign across Delhi. As part of preparations for Delhi assembly election, Kejriwal will interact with party volunteers in Delhi from tomorrow," Rai said. Rai said currently local level rallies and booth level work is going on for the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections. "But now Delhi chief minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal will start preparations and stay in touch with all the volunteers. He will hold dialogues with the volunteers of the party in 14 districts. We expect close to 1,000 volunteers to join us at every district level meeting," said Rai.
