In a bid to give some structural shape to its fledgling organisation, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has decided to set up a youth wing, which will be formally launched on September 27, coinciding with the 107th birth anniversary of revolutionary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh.
A few months ago, AAP had launched a separate women’s wing.
The objective behind setting a youth wing is to “further increase the youthful vigour of this young political party, and taking the idea of clean politics effectively to the people,” the party said in a release, adding that it will be known as Aam Aadmi Party Youth Wing.
In its first preparatory meeting with the party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal recently, the AAP Youth Wing decided to focus on unemployment, women’s safety and key issues concerning the youth and students of the country.
For starters, the party will start a membership drive in Delhi to enroll those under 35 years.
