Mumbai : The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday announced dissolution of all its units in Maharashtra except in Mumbai, and said the exercise is aimed at strengthening and rebuilding the organisation from the grassroot level.

“The Aam Aadmi Party is a national political party and it will contest all the forthcoming elections in Maharashtra at all levels,” it said.
