The city unit will have 10 vice-presidents, including Poonam Azad, wife of party leader Kirti Azad, and former Delhi legislator Vijay Jolly.

There will be three general secretaries - party legislator Ramesh Bidhuri, former chief minister Sahib Singh Verma’s son Pervesh Verma and Ashish Sood.

Gupta has appointed 10 secretaries, including Kanwaljit Sherawat, Virender Jual and Narendra Tondon.

The ‘Mahila Morcha’ (women’s wing) of the party will be headed by Shikha Roy, while Veena Sharma will be its general secretary.

Gupta said former Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) president Nakul Bhardwaj will head the youth wing.

Four leaders - Jolly, Sanjay Kaul, Sandip Patra and Mawaram Arya - have been appointed the party’s spokespersons.
