The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday, 13 December appointed senior party person and Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak as its National General Secretary (Organisation).
AAP, which is now eligible for the status of a national party after its performance in Gujarat, in a statement said, "Aam Aadmi Party hereby appoints Dr. Sandeep Pathak as the Rashtriya Sangathan Mahamantri (National General Secretary Organisation). He will also be a Permanent Invitee to the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of the party.”
