He also stated that a coordination committee, led by the state president, will be formed in the coming days to finalise the candidate lists.Asu Kehyo, the newly appointed AAP State President, stated that the party’s vision is to abandon the hornbill festival, which has become an abominable act in the context of our belief and culture because we have never worshipped or idolised hornbills or any other creatures as we appear to be doing today, and to implement a transparency and merits recruitment policy based on 80% marks for written exams and 10% for academic excellence.
