Apart from the “five years of revolution”, farmers distress will also be discussed during the convention, he said, adding current social, economic and political developments will also be discussed. Rai said the AAP is the only party in the Indian history to have established a national footprint within a short span of five years and is expanding rapidly across the country. The journey of the party will be discussed at the event. Around 10,000 AAP volunteers and representatives from 22 states are likely to attend the convention, party leaders said. Besides the party’s national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, several top AAP leaders are expected to address the convention. Senior party leader Kumar Vishwas, who has had an uneasy relationship with the party leadership, tweeted that he would be addressing the volunteers during the convention and speak his “heart out”.
