Arvind Kejriwal Launches AAP’s Student Wing ‘ASAP’
In a significant move to revamp the political landscape of India, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched a student wing of his party, called Association of Students For Alternative Politics (ASAP). The launch of ASAP marks a significant step forward for the AAP, which has been making rapid strides in Indian politics since its inception.
The announcement was made at a press conference in Delhi, where Kejriwal emphasized that ASAP will not only give a new direction to student politics but will also become a strong platform for alternative politics. “We will prepare a young generation that will change the definition of politics,” Kejriwal said, exuding confidence in the party’s new initiative.
The launch of ASAP comes at a time when student politics in India is in dire need of a revamp. Traditional student organizations have been plagued by corruption, nepotism, and a lack of direction, leaving students disillusioned with the political process. ASAP aims to change this narrative by providing a platform for students to engage with politics and bring about positive change.
ASAP will focus on creating awareness about social and political issues among students, encouraging them to participate in the political process, and providing them with the necessary skills and training to become effective leaders. The party plans to establish ASAP chapters in colleges and universities across the country, with the aim of creating a strong and widespread network of young leaders who share the AAP’s vision of a more just and equitable society.
Kejriwal emphasized that ASAP will be a student-led organization, with students taking the reins of the party’s student wing. “We will provide them with the necessary guidance and support, but the students will be the ones driving the movement forward,” he said.
The launch of ASAP has been welcomed by many in the education sector, who see it as a positive development for student politics in India. “This is a welcome move, as it will provide students with a platform to engage with politics and bring about positive change,” said Dr. Rakesh Kumar, a professor at Delhi University.
However, not everyone is pleased with the launch of ASAP. Some critics have accused the AAP of trying to hijack student politics and use it as a means to further its own political agenda. “This is a clear attempt by the AAP to infiltrate student politics and use it to promote its own ideology,” said Praveen Togadia, a senior leader of the Vishva Hindu Parishad.
Despite these criticisms, the AAP remains undeterred, and Kejriwal is confident that ASAP will make a positive impact on student politics in India. “We are not trying to impose our ideology on students, but rather provide them with a platform to express themselves and bring about positive change,” he said.
The launch of ASAP is a significant development in Indian politics, and it remains to be seen how the party’s student wing will fare in the coming months and years. However, one thing is clear – the AAP is committed to making a positive impact on student politics in India, and ASAP is a key part of that strategy.
