New Delhi [India], March 21 (ANI): Just after the Aam Aadmi Party saw a major reshuffle of its leadership on Friday, its leaders vowed to work for the welfare of the people and expand the party's base as they prepare for the upcoming elections.

Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain have been given the responsibility of Punjab; Gujarat to Gopal Rai and Durgesh Pathak.
