The Aam Aadmi Party will showcase its mascot—Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal—in a big way before the voters of the capital as the campaign for the February 8 Assembly elections in Delhi enters the final phase.
The party has lined up townhall meetings, roadshows and rallies of Kejriwal in the run-up to elections. The chief minister will hold eight townhall meetings from January 23 to January 30. Two mega roadshows by Kejriwal on Wednesday mark the beginning of his public campaign in the capital. He is slated to hold roadshows in various Assembly constituencies as AAP's prime campaigner.
According to AAP's Delhi convenor Gopal Rai, with the nomination process getting over, top leaders of the party will now regularly hold public gatherings across Delhi, in addition to padyatras and roadshows. The main campaigners for AAP, besides Kejriwal, include Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Rajya Sabha MP and election in-charge for Delhi Sanjay Singh and Bhagwant Mann, party MP from Sangrur, Punjab.
Kejriwal is slated to hold a townhall meeting at the Siri Fort Auditorium on January 23, which will be followed by seven more sessions up to January 30.

“We are gearing up for our campaign. Volunteers will receive a training session on January 23, and from January 24 to February 2, a door-to-door campaign will be conducted, during which our volunteers will present Arvind Kejriwal's guarantee card to every household in Delhi,” Rai said.
A separate campaign format is being worked out for the candidates, which will focus on nukkad sabhas and padyatras. “So the last phase of our election campaign will be a three-tier one—the first comprising the campaign by Arvind Kejriwal and other leaders, second by our candidates and the third, by our volunteers,” Rai said.
