JAMMU, Apr 16: Subhash Sharma, social activist and ex-Sarpanch of Panchayat Patoli Brahmana, along with hundreds of his followers joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today.
Subhash Sharma and his supporters were welcomed by AAP’s Central Observer for Jammu Province, Pradeep Mittal and Central Co-observer for Jammu Province, Manish Sinha.
Former MLA Balwant Singh Mankotia, District Development Council member from Suchetgarh Taranjeet Singh Tony, senior leaders Surinder Singh Shingari and MK Yogi, who all recently joined the AAP were also present during the joining programme held at Patoli Brahmana wherein a large number of people from adjoining areas remained present amid sweltering heat.
“AAP has emerged as a viable alternative in J&K to the time tested political outfits. Political leaders like me were looking for an option which could fulfil the aspirations of Jammu people who were feeling cheated by the BJP, Congress, National Conference and PDP,” said Sharma.
“AAP’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has taken a pledge to establish good governance in the country with people friendly policies. I am joining the Aam Aadmi Party influenced by his work,” he added.
