UP: AAP to raise "tiranga shakhas" in line with RSS to counter BJP
Lucknow: In an attempt to counter BJP, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party will float 'tiranga shakhas' in Uttar Pradesh on the lines of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the party's state in-charge Sanjay Singh said on Saturday.
RSS, which is an apolitical organization, is considered BJP's ideological parent.
Singh said 10,000 'tiranga shakhas' will be raised in the next six months in Uttar Pradesh to educate people about the "divide and rule" policy of the saffron party.
"The BJP is sponsoring politics of hatred. This is weakening the country and the Constitution. If the situation continues, India will lose its identity. It has to be saved," Singh told reporters here, reported media.
The appointment of "pramukhs" to the "tiranga shakhas" will begin on July 1, he said.
"Before the commencement of the 'tiranga shakhas', the national tri-colour will be unfurled and the Preamble of the Constitution will be read to the people so they are cautious about the divisive powers," he said.
The "shakhas" will hold discussions on great personalities like Bhimrao Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh and Ashfaqullah Khan.
He also said that AAP will contest upcoming urban local bodies' scheduled to be held later this year, in Uttar Pradesh.
