AAP: Just two days after resigning from the Delhi government, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party has turned its attention on the upcoming general elections.
Finalising 20 seats as part of its first list for Lok Sabha candidates, the party announced that former journalist and AAP spokesperson Ashutosh will contest against Union Minister Kapil Sibal from the Chandi Chowk seat in Delhi.
The party's Mukul Tripathi will take on Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid from the Farrukhabad seat, meanwhile, senior advocate HS Phoolka will contest from Ludhiana against Informationa and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari.
Activist Medha Patkar will make her electoral debut when she contests polls from Mumbai (North East) and Yogendra Yadav will contest from Gurgaon.
Announcing the list after a meeting of the party's Political Affair Committee (PAC), AAP's Manish Sisodia said Anjali Damania will contest against Nitin Gadkari from Nagpur and Kumar Vishwas is slated to take on Rahul Gandhi in Amethi.
"I have got a big responsibility. I earlier thought I wouldn't fight Lok Sabha or Assembly polls. We need to fight one-to-one against the foster people of corruption. Arvind Kejriwal has said the same thing to me. I will fight to my fullest," said Ms Damania after the announcement.
