They are being assisted by election supervisors, district presidents and party workers in every constituency.

Vaibhav Maheshwari, state spokesperson, AAP, said that a phone call to every supervisor goes from the party's war room in Lucknow, Varanasi or Noida to take feedback of the candidates' progress in the poll battle.

The state leadership of the party is aware that many candidates are facing problems in campaigning, formulating poll strategy or seeking mandatory permission from the district administration.

"We are aware of problems which our candidates are facing. This is due to the fact that a large number of them are from non-political backgrounds. All assistance is being provided to them, including legal aid by lawyers," said Maheshwari.
