Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has made an organisational revamp in an effort to expand its wings in South India. The party on Saturday appointed Advocate Vinod Wilson Mathew as the new state president of its Kerala unit and PC Cyriac as the National Joint Secretary. It has also appointed two State Vice Presidents, one State General Secretary, two State Secretaries, one State Treasurer, 10 different Wings Presidents, and 14 District Presidents, reported news agency ANI.
State election in-charge Vinod Mathew Wilson in February said that the party will be bringing some new faces and have an organisational revamp after the local body polls. He said, "AAP has decided to contest in three panchayat wards and one block panchayat ward in Kerala in the upcoming local body polls. AAP is contesting against the immoral politics of the CPI(M) in Kerala. We will perform well in these seats and open an account in Kerala."
He further said, "AAP National Committee has decided to find new faces who can influence Kerala and bring them to the leadership of the party in Kerala." While talking about the new faces he said that such names will be announced in the near future.

Wilson launched an attack on Congress by saying that the main opposition party in Kerala has been showing a "disappointing performance". Wilson said AAP's new organisational structure in Kerala will soon be in place. He said the party had already staged protests across the state including the Raj Bhavan March against the Adani row and issues pertaining to the budget.
Pertinent to mention, AAP after its electoral success in Punjab last year has been seeking expansion in other states to set its foot strong. The party had contested in states like Goa, Himachal Pradesh, and Gujarat last year.
