AAP Overseas’ social media campaign a hit

CHICAGO, IL — Dr. Kumar Vishwas, Convener, AAP Overseas, announced the formal structure of the Overseas team of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to connect Indians abroad to this political revolution in June and an integral part of it was the social media team.

AAP Overseas has been able to connect thousands of Indians settled abroad with the fight against corruption in India started by AAP. And his trust in this team was affirmed when within 20 days of the announcement, AAP Overseas created a huge buzz on social media (SM) with its anti-drug campaign worldwide called #KickNasha

What crowned this initial achievement was the ‘#TalktoAK’ Campaign which not only trended top in India but was 4th worldwide in twitter trends.

Following highly successful campaigns like #AKinGujrat, etc . the AAP Overseas social media team is the trendsetter now on twitter and other SM platforms.

AAP Overseas is not only spreading the work done by the party in India but is also responsible for making viral the activities of its different chapters in different countries all over the world.

With worldwide trends like #AAPUK4Punjab, #AAPCanadaYouth etc. it is the frontrunner in global trends leaving far behind social media teams of other political parties trying to achieve even one-tenth of the success of AAP Overseas.

This team really showed its mettle with back-to-back campaigns against the highly-criticized demonetization scheme of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The way they brought out the loopholes of the scheme right in its initial stages made their trends worldwide drawing media attention to what was intrinsically wrong with this drastic step.

And now it’s crowning glory are the Chalo Punjab and Calling Campaign where Indians settled abroad are being motivated to return to India and cCampaign to save Punjab or to call and motivate the voters for AAP if they cannot be physically present in Punjab.

The US team is leading multiple campaigns and with focus on the recently-announced elections, the US AAP Overseas support group has also been expended.

Pradeep Sundriyal, convenor of AAP US, said that with this expansion, AAP US support group has over 20 chapters across the US. The AAP US team has launched a unique campaign, ‘Halka Aapnow (Adopt a constituency)’ for Punjab.

In this campaign, overseas Indian citizens are encouraged to adopt MLA constituencies in Punjab. So far, more than 80 working groups are working actively in their respective adopted constituencies.

According to Shail Gautam (IacShail), social media Head, AAP Overseas, "The strength of our team is the hundreds of volunteers who are passionate about bringing a change in the political system of their motherland even though they may be hundreds of miles away from it.

‘They selflessly spend their time and money for this political revolution and their idealism and enthusiasm overwhelmingly surpasses the paid machinery of our rivals. We owe our success to these dedicated faceless volunteers all around the world and their zeal to see a better India.

According to Ajeet Singh, AAP convener (Chicago IL), AAP will win Panjab.
