Lok Sabha elections 2019 | AAP appoint lakhs of booth-level in-charges for general polls
Party leader Gopal Rai said that AAP will appoint lakhs of booth-level officials for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2019 and announce the list of candidates within February 15.
He said that any coalition will be decided in the country according to the emerging political situation, saying that the party will fight in all the 33 seats of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Goa and Chandigarh.
Rai indicated that the party has kept its options open on the possibility of a coalition with opposition parties including Congress and said, "There is a fluctuation in the situation in the country. We will analyze it and decide later."

He said that the party was ready to make adjustments with the Opposition parties for the removal of Modi government's "Hitler-Shahi".
However, Rai clarified that the AAP has started preparing for elections by focusing on Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Goa and Chandigarh.
Inspired by the BJP's 'Panna Prabhari', who have direct connections with the voters in the booth, AAP will appoint 3.62 lakh ' Vijay Pramukh ' in Delhi and 4.62 lakh people in Haryana.
Rai said, "Each Vijay Pramukh will cover ten houses in a polling booth and will be responsible for providing voting slips to the voters and bring them to the polling booths on the day of polling. They will participate in one week's election campaign before the polling begins.
The 'Vijay Pramukhs' will be enlisted from volunteers who have participated in the party's door-to-door election campaign for the elections. They will also distribute a questionnaire to voters seeking views on the AAP government in Delhi and Arvind Kejriwal's performance as a chief minister.
Kejriwal will be the nerve centre of the party's campaign. He will hold rallies in different states, besides holding meetings with workers. Kejriwal will address three rallies in Punjab and one in Haryana in the next few weeks. He will hold a meeting with block-level party workers from Punjab on Thursday.
In the run-up to the elections, Kejriwal will address rallies at Sangrur on January 20, Anandpur Sahib on January 28, Amritsar on February 2 and Charkhi Dadri on January 4.
He will also launch the party's door to door campaign in Haryana by holding meetings with office bearers of Lok Sabha seats in the state. The office bearers will conduct the campaign in each Parliamentary constituency.
In Delhi, Kejriwal will hold meetings with campaigners of the door to door programme conducted so far in different constituencies. The first such meeting with volunteers of South Delhi will be held on January 10.
Rai said he "hoped" that Parliamentary in-charges in Delhi will be ultimately announced as official AAP candidates for the Lok Sabha polls. So far, in-charges in six constituencies in Delhi have been announced and one for the West Delhi seat is likely to be named soon.
