Election campaign story from AAP volunteer Pulkit Gupta

It was Feb 2018 when I travelled to Boston to attend India Conference 2018 organized by MIT and Harvard University. I was excited to meet fellow AAP volunteers. After weeks of planning, we booked a hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts and organized a public gathering with Manish Sisodia and other guests from India. The event was a hit and attended by many people who travelled from different parts of USA and Canada. During the event I met Pulkit Gupta, a volunteer like many others. Pulkit is living in the US for almost 10 years and volunteering with AAP. He is not only a donor, but he has also travelled to India for election campaigns. He spent almost a month in India for 2017 Punjab assembly elections and Delhi MCD elections each. 

In order to help other volunteers who are campaigning in different parts of India, I talked to Pulkit via video conferencing to know about his experience while campaigning for candidates. Watch this video to know some bittersweet memories shared by Pulkit in a call recorded in May 2018. 

Hope you like this video and learnt some challenges our volunteers face during campaigns. If you think, you can manage few hours/week and would like to volunteer for AAP, you can connect with  the local team or contact me here on this blog. I will help you to get in touch with the right people.
