AAP holds rallies across city, seeks votes for Opp.

The AAP on Thursday held several public meetings across Delhi, urging the people to vote for the INDIA bloc candidates in the May 25 Lok Sabha polls in the city and launched a signature campaign against the arrest of party chief Arvind Kejriwal.

Two whiteboards were put up at Lajpat Nagar for the people to write their messages for Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is lodged in Tihar Jail till May 7. He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in a money laundering case linked to the nowscrapped Delhi excise policy.

Praveen Kumar said the signature campaign will be conducted in different parts of the city to show the BJP that the people of Delhi love their chief minister.

“We have started this campaign from here and will take it to different areas. We will collect these signatures and send them to BJP to show how much the people of Delhi love Kejriwal,” Mr Praveen Kumar said.

Slogans of ‘Jail ka jawab vote se denge’ and ‘Arvind Kejriwal zindabad’ were also raised by the party workers at the event.

“The people of Delhi are extremely angry at the way CM Kejriwal was put in jail. They will revert with their votes against dictatorship and his arrest,” AAP East Delhi Lok Sabha candidate Kuldeep Kumar said.

The AAP and the Congress—constituents of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA)—are fighting the Lok Sabha polls in Delhi together.

The Congress has fielded candidates from three of the seven seats. The AAP is contesting the remaining four.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held a Sankalp Sabha under their ‘Jail ka jawab vote se’ campaign in Mehrauli which comes under the South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.

The Sankalp Sabha was led by senior AAP leader and Cabinet minister Kailash Gahlot.
