AAP to launch ‘Har Ghar Sampark Abhiyan' in UP
Lucknow: With the
panchayat elections
as the first target in UP, the
Aam Aadmi Party
(AAP) is set to embark on a massive organisation-building spree in the state.
MP and UP in-charge Sanjay Singh announced on Wednesday that AAP will start a 'Har Ghar Sampark Abhiyan' from July 11 to spread the party's message to every household.
A team of 101 people has been formed, with each responsible for building the organisation in four assembly constituencies. They will go house to house from July to September.
UP co-in-charge Dilip Pandey called the Har Ghar Sampark Abhiyan the party's largest organisational campaign. "Under this, the party aims to bring change in the elections by establishing its presence in all 75 districts, 403 assemblies, 826 blocks, approximately 8,000 Nyaya Panchayats, and 57,000 Gram Panchayats, through the party's broom symbol, flag, and cap," he said.
The 101 organisational leaders will stay overnight where needed, stay at workers' homes, understand the issues of Dalits, backward classes, and minorities, raise them, and attempt to resolve them through AAP's politics of service and struggle, he added.

Delhi Chief Minister Flags Off New DEVI Electric Buses, Inaugurates Narela Depot
New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday flagged off 105 new orange-coloured DEVI (Delhi EV Inter-connector) electric buses and inaugurated the newly built Sector A9 depot in Narela, calling it a step towards cleaner and more efficient public transport for the capital. Ms Gupta said the depot was completed in just 90 days and claimed it reflects the BJP government's commitment to deliver on promises made to Delhi residents. She also attacked the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, accusing it of pushing Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) into losses and fostering a corrupt system. "Buses are Delhi's lifeline. But under the previous government, routes were cut, buses reduced, and corruption seeped in," she said. Referring to the CAG report, Gupta claimed that DTC had incurred losses amounting to Rs 65,000 crore during the earlier regime. She alleged that even the free bus ride scheme for women was marred by corruption and panic buttons were installed "just for show". Highlighting features of the new nine-metre-long electric buses, Gupta said they are equipped with air conditioning, panic buttons, and real-time monitoring systems. "When we removed paper tickets and moved to cards, AAP spread lies that women would no longer travel for free. But the move was only to curb corruption," she said. Meanwhile, Delhi Transport Minister Pankaj Singh, who was present at the event, said the previous government denied people their right to better buses. "These buses should have arrived by last monsoon, but the former government failed to deliver. Today, the BJP is fulfilling that promise," he said. He said that earlier DEVI buses were green in colour, and this is the first time an entire fleet of orange-coloured buses has been introduced. This adds more vibrancy, and we will continue increasing their numbers, as we have been doing since the launch of the DEVI buses. Delhi BJP leader Yogender Chandolia dismissed AAP's claim that this was just a rebranding exercise. "If these were AAP's buses, they would have been on the roads months ago. These are new buses, purchased and brought in under the BJP. AAP never procured small electric buses - they reused old ones," he said. Chandolia said the new compact DEVI buses, with seating for 23 and standing space for 17 passengers, are ideal for navigating Delhi's narrow lanes and will benefit people. "This is the real Rekha Gupta Model - "clean, modern, and efficient public transport," he added. Currently, Delhi operates around 2,000 electric buses, and officials said the number will continue to rise, with a goal of achieving 100 per cent electrification of the bus fleet by 2027.

Lord Murugan conference: AIADMK ‘remained silent' on video clip criticising Annadurai fearing BJP, says Chidambaram
Veteran Congress leader and former Union Minister P. Chidambaram, on Thursday (June 26, 2025) night said the 'silence' maintained by the opposition AIADMK over the derogatory remarks made against Dravidian stalwarts Periyar E.V. Ramasamy and C.N. Annadurai at Lord Murugan devotees conference in Madurai recently only showed the AIADMK was afraid of the BJP. Addressing a public meeting on the occasion of the 102th birth anniversary of Scheduled Caste leader L. Elayaperumal at Kattumannarkovil in Cuddalore, Mr. Chidambaram said the AIADMK dignitaries who attended the conference should have walked out of the venue when a video clip criticising Periyar and Anna was played at the conference. However, the AIADMK was afraid of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah and remained as 'slaves' to win the 2026 Assembly election. Referring to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's purported comment that those who speak in English should feel ashamed, Mr. Chidambaram said that 10% of the population in the country speaks English. 'They (BJP) don't want the Dalits, Adivasis and the poor to learn English and attain quality. While the BJP was attempting to prevent marginalised people from learning English, the children of Union Ministers study in foreign Universities in the U.K. and the U.S. People should understand this,' he said. Mr. Chidambaram said untouchability was yet to be fully eradicated in Tamil Nadu. Though untouchability has reduced to some extent in the State due to the rule by Dravidian parties, it is yet to be full eradicated and the fight continues even after 100 years. The recommendations of the Committee on Untouchability, Economic and Educational Development of the Scheduled Castes, headed by L. Elayaperumal is yet to be fully implemented, he added. Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K. Selvaperunthagai also spoke.
