Arvind Kejriwal takes the metro ride to reach out to people

Arvind Kejrival today (Sept, 10,2013) at  8.30 in the morning with Manish Sisodia, Kumar Vishwas and a bunch of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) activists  arrived at the crowded Kaushambi metro station.
They were heading for their office in central Delhi.

 As many looked on, Kejriwal was flooded with requests to pose for photos. “Hundred votes for each photo,” he quipped and began handing out his business cards to them. “We don’t have money, so we are asking each commuter to take responsibility for 100 votes,”

The whole team boarded the rear coach as the train arrived. In the train  Kejriwal, Sisodia and Vishwas fanned out in the crowd of commuters and started approaching people. “Please vote for AAP this election. Please cast your vote for an honest party,”

However it doesn't means that the AAP metro squad didn't faced any questions in the train,   Charu Kant, a banker with State Bank of Hyderabad, asked him: “Why should we trust AAP? We have had such bad experience with other parties?”Vishwas replyed to him that “When we are in power, there would be Anna Hazare’s Lokayukta within one month. If that does not happen, you can seek our resignation.”
Shaking hands, posing for photos and distributing cards, the AAP team moved from the last coach towards the train front.Apart from Kejriwal, Sisodia, Vishwas and scores of party volunteers too travel by Delhi Metro daily and on their way try to convince commuters to vote for their party.

Arvind Kejrival invited Durga Shakti Nagpal to join AAP

Arvind Kejrival on Friday {2nd August(2013)} asked suspended IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal to join the AAP and contest next year(2014) polls against Samajwadi party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav from Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri parliamentary constituency.

He also said that if she is not willing to join AAP she can contest independently against Mulayam.

"It is ironical that Durga Shakti Nagpal is seeking justice from the system which is opposed to her. We appeal to her to contest elections against Mulayam Singh Yadav from the Mainpuri constituency,"  Arvind Kejriwal said

Arvind said a referendum will be held among AAP's cadre in Mainpuri on the candidature of Nagpal.

The AAP also attacked the Congress party for indulging in rhetoric.

"Congress is not intervening in the matter as it sees Samajwadi Party gaining 10-15 seats in the upcoming general elections," AAP leader Kumar Vishwas said.
