In South Delhi roadshow, AAP targets BJP

NEW DELHI: Raghav Chadha, Aam Aadmi Party’s South Delhi candidate, on Sunday organised a

roadshow

, a day before he was scheduled to file his nomination. The party’s south Delhi unit termed it a “nomination rally” while also calling it “Gundaraj Mukti Yatra”. It was led by Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh.


The rally kicked off from the

AAP

MLA’s office at Palam and continued till the other end of the South Delhi parliamentary constituency at Tughlakabad. The roadshow covered several populous pockets, such as Bijwasan, Mehrauli, Chhatarpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Sangam Vihar, Deoli and Kalkaji. Chadha claimed that the rally, which was attended by several AAP MLAs, was a success, adding that the level of public participation reflected AAP’s popularity in the constituency.

Most participants wore AAP caps and carried flags, balloons and posters. Patriotic songs set the theme and kept enthusiasm high. Supporters greeted the MLAs with garlands. Accusing Ramesh Bidhuri, BJP’s South Delhi MP, of behaving badly with the people, Chadha urged them to vote for AAP in the election. “The people of south Delhi want change. They want to elect an MP who is answerable to them and understands their basic needs,” he said. AAP had earlier released the report card of Bidhuri, accusing him of being “abrasive”, a charge which was contested strongly by the BJP leader.
