Status of AAP Election Machinery in Madhya Pradesh 
 
Dear Singh, Amarjeet,
Democracy is not perfect. It requires constant nurturing. The recent public show of horse-trading and naked assertion of political power to  subvert democracy has shamed Indian democracy. Worse, sections of media have shown how easy it is to coerce them into silencing political opposition available. The resultant direct involvement of Supreme Court to control these anti-democratic processes is all too evident.
The big political parties have erected a high entry barrier for honest competitors - they are generating large sums of money to wage smear campaigns while simultaneously forcing honest politicians into fighting a war of attrition in the courts.
Against this background, we would like to introduce to you Alok Agarwal  who is the leader of Aam Aadmi Party in Madhya Pradesh since 2014. A trained engineer from IIT Kanpur (graduate of 1989), Alok has dedicated his life to social causes instead of going into a corporate career, and has worked in MP since he graduated. Over the past 29 years, Alok has built a reputation for getting things done - when he makes his mind to do something, he delivers. He has shown imagination, courage and sensibility of the highest order to take on the political establishment and win justice for his people – enabling compensation of over Rs. 4000 crore crores for those citizens of MP who were displaced by large dams in MP; getting global experts to revise mega-dam based development policy; and empowering the weakest sections, Adivasis, to  ask for their rights. His leadership in the Narmada Bachao Andolan has been widely recognized and lauded.
As Convenor of AAP MP, Alok has done significant work in the past four years in MP to strengthen his political base. Some of the key high-level achievements are summarized in the attached document.
MP will be going to the polls in October/November 2018. AAP will be fighting all 230 Vidhan Sabha constituencies to offer itself as an alternative. We are running the most structured campaign we have ever done. To elevate MP back to the heart of Indian economy, Alok today needs your financial support. None of this excellent work can reach the finish line without your honest funding. AAP is alive because of the hopes that are alive in your hearts and because of tall and honest leaders like Alok Agarwal. 
Donate generously for Alok and AAP and help us show governance impact in a full state. There is so much wrong in MP that one can accomplish a lot with small changes. Big changes and honest intent can drive a real transformation. And if we can transform MP, we can make the heart of India healthy again. Please donate with your heart and conscience.

Thank You!

Status of AAP Election Machinery in Madhya Pradesh
Status of AAP Election Machinery in Madhya Pradesh Madhya Pradesh is today in center stage of AAP‘s Strategy. It is one of the most persistent BIMARU states of India. Even after 70 years of being ruled by BJP and Congress, MP ranks amongst one of the lowest in human development of all states in India.
Farmers, the bedrock of India's food security, are in persistent dire straits.   Alok believes that MP's budget of over Rs 2 Lakh Crores presents huge opportunities for reducing leakages (over 30%), which will be more than sufficient to systemically solve the problems of MP. All this, without increasing taxes on honest citizens. This will catalyze the rejuvenation of MP. In MP, AAP has built the following election machinery so far:
 1. Building of over 35,000 volunteers at booth level, organized in Zones, Lok Sabha/Vidhan Sabha, and polling centers.
2. Building a foundation of door to door campaigns, including his 10,000 Km Yatra across all of MP's 230 constituencies.
3. Adopting scalable processes of voter segmentation/sentiment analysis, continuous poll/forecasting and consolidated data on voter preferences.
4. Over 100+ sector experts in infrastructure, health, education, water, electricity, education, law/order, healthcare supporting the building of his game plan to change MP.
5. Core advisory groups of volunteers from IITs/IIMs/NGOs to generate execution plans.
6. Support from senior and experienced thought leaders from think-tanks within the political establishment.
7. A candidate selection process that prioritizes those with education and professional background, and filters out the 3Cs - Crime, Corruption, and Character. Alok has a dream to make MP prosperous again for each citizen. He believes that for this to happen, each citizen of MP must share his dream and join him by electing honest leaders to help change the “governance system” from an oppressor.
There is so much wrong in MP that one can accomplish a lot with small changes. Big changes and honest intent can drive a real transformation. And if we can transform MP, we can make the heart of India healthy again.
