Lucknow: A crucial organisational review meeting of Apna Dal (S) was held on Tuesday at the Gandhi Bhavan Auditorium in Kaisarbagh under the leadership of the party’s National President and Union Minister, Anupriya Patel. The meeting focused on preparations for upcoming elections, organisational expansion, and strategies to strengthen the party structure down to the booth level.
Despite the intense summer heat, the large turnout of party workers and office-bearers reflected the enthusiasm and organisational strength of the party. Addressing a packed auditorium, Anupriya Patel said that the organisation remains the party’s greatest strength and that the dedication and struggles of its workers have enabled Apna Dal (S) to emerge as a significant political force in Uttar Pradesh.
She urged party workers to dedicate themselves fully to election preparations and called for greater momentum in the party’s ambitious “Har Ghar Jhanda” (Flag in Every Home) campaign. According to her, strengthening the organisation at the grassroots and booth levels is the need of the hour.
“Our identity and respect are linked to the party. The organisation is our real strength. Time is limited before the upcoming elections, and there can be no laxity in organisational expansion or public outreach programmes,” she said.
