The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will hold a public meeting next Sunday at Delhi's Ramlila Ground, the first big gathering of its workers and supporters after the arrest of its only mass leader, the party's national convener, Delhi Chief Minister (CM) Arvind Kejriwal.
It will be the first big test of whether the party's second-rung leadership has the sway to galvanise its rank and file.
Since Kejriwal's arrest on Thursday, the AAP leadership has felt the need to underscore that its legitimacy to run the party continues to come from Kejriwal. It has stressed that Kejriwal would continue to run the party and the Delhi government from behind bars. It also fielded his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, to record a message from the seat where he sits.
Addressing party workers on Sunday, AAP strategist Sandeep Pathak said the party will function as it did before.
"Earlier, instructions came from Civil Lines (Delhi CM's official residence), and now he will direct us from jail, and we will follow his orders," Pathak said. "Kejriwal's first order is that we hold a big rally at Ramlila Maidan on March 31," he added.
