'AAP will not allow the government to shut down schools and will fight to protect the education of children,' Sanjay Singh, Rajya Sabha MP and state in-charge of the party, told media persons on Thursday. Singh criticised the government's priorities, highlighting the contrast between the proposed school mergers and the continued opening of liquor shops. The AAP leader pointed out that the merger of schools will affect the appointments of approximately 1.35 lakh assistant teachers, 27,000 headmasters, and thousands of education workers. He further stated that the government's decision to merge schools violates the Right to Education Act, which mandates free and compulsory education for children in the age group of 6-14 years. Singh also criticised the government's handling of the mid-day meal scheme, stating that instead of improving the quality of meals, the government is focused on opening liquor shops. He urged people to join hands with AAP to fight for the future of education in the state. Statewide outreach The Aam Aadmi Party will launch a statewide outreach campaign, 'Har Ghar Sampark Abhiyan', across the state from July 11. The drive aims to expand the party's grassroots presence across all 403 assembly constituencies in the state. Workers will visit every village, household, and ward to spread the AAP's message, focusing on party chief and former chief minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal's 'Kaam ki Rajneeti' (politics of work) and Sanjay Singh's 'Sewa aur Sangharsh ki Rajneeti' (politics of service and struggle). The party will build its organisation in rural areas, strengthening its presence in 75 districts, 826 blocks, and approximately 57,000 gram panchayats.

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.
