Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal to address over 100 rallies this poll season

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has finally started campaigning for the assembly elections. From December 1, the former chief minister has been attending sabhas in various constituencies in the capital and is expected to address more than a 100 meetings till the polls, presuming that elections will be held in February.

"Kejriwal has already addressed sabhas in Delhi Cantt, Karol Bagh, Gandhi Nagar and Vishwas Nagar. After he comes back from Dubai and the US on December 9, Kejriwal will be addressing around 2-3 sabhas daily. Kejriwal is AAP's star campaigner and there is massive demand for him to speak across the city," said sources.

The meetings are likely to be held on a fixed pattern for a month or so. The meetings will be small and the party will ensure that Kejriwal is visible to everyone, unlike a rally for instance where he would be far away on a stage. The central theme of his campaign meetings will be 'Paanch saal Kejriwal', stressing on the party's demand for a full majority so that they can govern uninterrupted for a full term this time, against its 49-days in government during its first stint in January this year.

"In the last 25 days or so, Kejriwal should be addressing around 60 sabhas. In due course, AAP will launch Jhadu Yatra-II. Other senior members will also be working on ground, addressing meetings across constituencies. These include MP Bhagwant Mann, Yogendra Yadav, Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh, Dilip Pandey and Ashish Khetan," said party sources.
