After a landslide victory in the Delhi Assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is now planning to expand its presence in Uttar Pradesh. As per reports, the Party is launching a major membership drive in the state of UP from February 23. According to AAP MP Sanjay Singh, the Party is aiming to take the 'Arvind Kejriwal mode of development' to Uttar Pradesh in order to strengthen its base across the 403 Assembly constituencies. 

However, Singh added that the party has not yet decided if it will contest the 2022 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. Currently, the Party has 60 active district-level units in Uttar Pradesh. As per reports, they are planning to expand to other constituencies. 

About the Membership Drive

According to reports, the membership drive will continue for a month from February 23 to March 23 in UP. Singh stated that people can become members of the Party by reaching out to Party offices and getting receipts or by giving missed calls or by enrolling through their website.
