AAP on Friday announced the office bearers of the newly formed ‘Sanatan Seva Samiti’ on Friday with Ghanendra Bhardwaj appointed as the state in-charge, while Vijay Sharma named the state president.

AAP’s state convenor Gopal Rai released a list of eight office bearers, including the state in-charge and state president. The committee aims to provide a platform for priests and saints dedicated to Sanatan Dharma. Recently, the AAP claimed that many priests and saints have joined its Sanatan Seva Samiti after leaving the BJP’s Mandir Prakoshth.

According to the list of office bearers of the Sanatan Seva Samiti released by Rai, Jitendra Sharma as the state executive president, Sardar Rajinder Singh as the state vice-president, Brijesh Sharma as the state organizational secretary, and Manish Gupta and Sardar Rajinder Singh (Honey) as state secretaries. Dushyant Sharma has been named the state joint secretary.

Ahead of the upcoming Delhi assembly election, AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, has guaranteed the “Pujari-Granthi Samman Yojana,” under which Pujaris and Granthis will receive Rs 18,000 per month.

While welcoming the priests and saints into the party fold on January 8, AAP chief expressed his gratitude, saying, “I consider myself very fortunate that God has given us the opportunity to serve the priests and saints who work tirelessly for Sanatan Dharma. The BJP has done nothing for the members associated with its Mandir Prakoshth, but the Aam Aadmi Party delivers on what it promises.”

During the event, prominent religious figures, including Jagadguru Ramanujacharya Swami, Yogeshwaracharya Maharaj, Jagadguru Swami Awadhesh Prapannacharya Maharaj, and Acharya Shri Madhur Das Maharaj, among others were present.
