**AAP Seeks Party Office Space in Chandigarh**
Chandigarh, June 25, 2025 – Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann met with Governor Gulab Chand Kataria at Raj Bhavan today, urging that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) be granted space for a party office in Chandigarh. Mann emphasized that AAP qualifies as a national party and fulfills all the necessary criteria for establishing an office within the city, a privilege currently enjoyed by other political organizations.
“AAP is a national party,” Mann stated to reporters outside Raj Bhavan. “We have demonstrated our electoral success in Gujarat and Ludhiana, and we have representation in Goa. Despite this, we lack a dedicated party office in Chandigarh. We believe we meet all the necessary conditions to be granted this opportunity.” The request marks a significant step for AAP in solidifying its presence and operational capacity in the region. The Governor’s response is currently pending.
