Manish Sisodia, who was the AAP state-in-charge in Rajasthan, had already set in motion the process of organisation building. Vishwas, when he takes charge, will not have to start from scratch.
Ashok Jain, AAP state coordinator, said, "The organisation building work in Rajasthan is happening rapidly. We are not thinking about elections right now. Our first priority is to build the party from the ground and take AAP's message to the people. It is premature to say much at this stage, but we are confident that we will get support. The rest is up to the leadership. There are around 46,000 polling booths in Rajasthan. In over 20,000 of them, we have a fully functional organisational base."Targeting a triangular contest
For Jain, however, Vishwas's entry is a game changer. "When Manish Sisodia came, we were enthused with confidence and worked hard to build the party. Kumar Vishwas's entry will bring a new energy. He is an excellent speaker with a mass appeal."The Rajasthani connection
Despite rumours that Vishwas has been given charge of Rajasthan just to pacify him, a source close to Kejriwal said the party was serious about the northern state.

He added, "The Congress is facing a crisis of credibility and leadership. They have an internal tussle for power between Sachin Pilot, CP Joshi and Ashok Gehlot."
When asked if AAP will not gain from the Congress decline, Parnami said, "AAP won't, we will."
