The Aam Aadmi Party Thursday launched a weekly social media interaction campaign with people as it seeks to reach out to voters directly on the issue of full statehood for Delhi.
The party has also formed a research team to connect with the public and dispel social media "rumours".
The first interaction session was held by senior party leader Gopal Rai. His colleagues would hold sessions in subsequent weeks.
Rai stressed on the need for full statehood for Delhi, saying the city's development projects are getting impacted because of its half-state status.
Answering a question on whether the AAP is talking about statehood to hide its alleged failure, Rai said both the BJP and the Congress had raised the demand for full statehood.
The ruling party is fighting the Lok Sabha elections on the agenda of granting full statehood to Delhi.
