June 2022, in preparation for the upcoming 2022 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election, the organization structure of AAP Gujarat was reshuffled and fresh appointments were announced. Gopal Italia was retained as the state president of AAP Gujarat. Italia launched an Electricity Movement in Gujarat in the same month. In the 2022 Gujarat toxic liquor deaths 50 people died after consuming illicitly produced liquor. After the incident, alcohol and drug consumption became a major issue for the election. Italia said that the prohibition on the sale of alcohol is not enforced strictly and bootlegging of liquor is rampant across the state, due to the nexus between the bootleggers and the local police under the patronage of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in the state. Italia demanded an investigation by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the incident. In the first half of October, a video of Italia went viral in which he called Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 'neech' (a lowly person). The National Commission for Women has issued a notice to Gopal Italia and summoned him to appear before commission on October 13 in Delhi. On 13 October, the Delhi Police detained Italia from the office of the National Commission for Women, and taken to the police station where he was questioned for 2.5 hours.
