Arvind also responded to the audience's questions which were in fact FAQs(Frequently Asked Questions ) about Aam Admi Party like
- "What if you win some seats but they are not enough to form a government — will you form a coalition with the Congress or the BJP?"
ANS: AAP would not collaborate with either of the two parties, Kejriwal said,
"We will not lend support to either party. Even if we get 20 seats, it would mean that the other two parties will also not be able to form a government. We've reached a stage where without us, a government cannot be formed." - Why the party was fielding people without any political experience
ANS:They are not looking for political experts but those who are sensitive to the needs of others. "We are promising candidates who have no criminal record and if proof of their corruption is brought to us even a day before the elections, we promise to withdraw their names," - When Arvind talked about 'vote bank' politics, a student asked
Weather AAP was not doing the same by writing a letter to Muslims?
ANS:"I have been interacting with various sections — jhuggi-jhopri dwellers, auto drivers, and members of Valmiki Samaj. I have written to them too. There are problems specific to certain communities."said Arvind
Editor's View: Such interactive meets with the youth of nation and AAP's desire for young minds as its candidates is really appreciated. But wait for a moment, when BJP's Modi gave speech at B.schools(Business school) and big colleges, media gave it a sugary and gummy attention
Also when Congress's Rahul Gandhi interacts with youth then it is also covered by media without any if and buts.
But when AAP's Arvind Kejrival meets with youth St.Stephen's College or at Also when Congress's Rahul Gandhi interacts with youth then it is also covered by media without any if and buts. But when AAP's Arvind Kejrival meets with youth St.Stephen's College or at Wharton(B.School)(click here to know more about Wharton meet) then switches to its HUSH-HUSH mode.This is so patheticClick here to see the speech video(DO SEE!)
