Overview

  • ASAP, launched on May 20, 2025, at the Constitution Club of India, aims to mobilize students nationwide for alternative politics and governance reforms.
  • The initiative follows AAP's February 2025 Delhi Assembly election defeat and the resignation of 15 councillors who formed the Indraprastha Vikas Party.
  • ASAP plans to establish units in Delhi University colleges, expand to other universities, launch a student helpline, and recognize Class 12 district toppers.
  • The new wing will operate alongside the existing Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti (CYSS), which has struggled to gain traction since its inception in 2014.
  • Arvind Kejriwal criticized BJP and Congress for promoting divisive politics, contrasting it with AAP's governance successes in education and power supply.
