NEW DELHI: The AAP on Tuesday kicked off its campaign for full statehood for Delhi after the announcement of the campaign by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday.

Under the campaign, the party workers will go door-to-door to collect signatures supporting the AAP's full statehood demand for Delhi. The ruling AAP MLAs met the party workers at their constituencies on Tuesday to discuss preparations for the 'full statehood campaign', which will be launched on Wednesday and will continue till July 25. "The party plans to take the movement to the booth level through the opening of 3,000 'full statehood centres' across Delhi," a senior party leader said.
On Tuesday, senior leaders Gopal Rai, Dilip Pandey, Atishi Marlena and others opened various "Andolan Kendra" across Delhi. Earlier, addressing a party workers' convention on Sunday, Arvind Kejriwal and AAP's Delhi unit convenor Gopal Rai had said that these centres would be set up in the next two weeks. After the 23-day full statehood campaign christened 'Delhi Mange Apna Haq', AAP leaders and workers would submit the signatures collected in support of the party's demand, to the Prime Minister.
