New Delhi:- Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party's Kalkaji seat candidate Atishi has appealed for financial support from the public for his upcoming assembly election campaign.

Dream of 'honest politics' with the help of public

Atishi said that Aam Aadmi Party was formed with the support of the public and small donations. He reminded that in the early days of 2013, when AAP had entered the electoral fray for the first time, they had asked for donations of Rs 10, 50 or 100 from the public. This contribution distinguished the party from other political parties, which depend on big corporates. He said that the principle of our party has always been based on transparency and public support. Instead of taking funds from big businessmen and corporates, we run our election campaigns with small contributions from the public.

He said that if you want to see an honest and public welfare government in Delhi, then join this crowd funding campaign. Also Atishi shared a link for crowd funding atishi.aamaadmiparty.org. He expressed confidence that the people of Delhi, who have always supported AAP, will support him this time too.
