In a bid to increase the footprints of the party in the region, the AAP on Friday announced the formation of two bodies of Kashmiri-displaced people in Jammu.,
The party, as it made the announcement, also claimed that it will form the next government in Jammu and Kashmir as people have made up their minds to give them a chance.
"People in Jammu and Kashmir are watching the model of governance of Arvind Kejriwal ji in Delhi and Punjab. They have made up their mind to elect AAP government in J&K. We will form the government here," MLA Delhi and In-charge of the J&K unit of AAP, Durgesh Pathak told reporters here.
"People have tested National Conference, PDP, Congress. BJP is currently ruling here through the backdoor. They tested them, and now they have made up their mind to vote AAP to power here," he said.
Earlier, Pathak administered oath to the newly-appointed office bearers of the party.

AAP’s championing of Kashmiri-displaced people comes in the backdrop of the targeted killing of people belonging to such groups, and months-long protests of Kashmiri Pandit employees for their relocation from Kashmir in wake of these killings.
