AAP to contest from all 224 seats in State: Prithvi Reddy

Not just ordinary people but several important persons, who have made a name for themselves in various fields are looking at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today. “People have now realised that AAP is the party that genuinely works for the common people and has given alternate politics to our nation that focuses on clean and efficient administration. As a result, many more people are joining the party fold today,” said AAP State President Prithvi Reddy.

Speaking at a function organised to welcome new joiners at the party office in Mysuru on Monday evening, Mr. Reddy said, “After the Punjab results, AAP is being seen as a new hope for change in the existing corrupt system”.

Mr. Reddy said that when he asked Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal when AAP should contest elections in Karnataka, Mr. Kejriwal replied, “This is not a decision to be made in Delhi or by party office-bearers. This decision will be taken by the people of Karnataka when they want the same benefits which people of Delhi are getting and that is because the people gave a chance to all other parties and have been disappointed.” He added that the time is now ripe for this change.
