TUMAKURU: To overcome its urban centric party tag, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has embarked on its pan Karnataka campaign of connecting with the rural populace from here on Sunday by holding a brainstorming session.
"AAP is not a political asylum for leaders from other parties to join us. We want the common people to get elected and hence have started strengthening the party across the state," said AAP leader Bhaskar Rao.
He stressed that given the good governance by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and the replication of the same in Punjab by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the party is having a cascading effect elsewhere. "A survey has revealed that 42 per cent people in India want Kejriwal to be the Prime Minister next," he said.
AAP has proved that free power to residents and quality education is not a big deal as there is no lack of resources, but change in administration is important, he said. "We will allot ten villages to four of our workers and they will conduct the status survey of each village," said AAP district president BL Vishwanath.
