Chandigarh, February 17
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will be fielding a strong candidate against sitting Congress MP Pawan Kumar Bansal. This stated by AAP's national spokesperson Atishi Marlena while interacting with mediapersons here today. Atishi, who was in the city to attend a seminar in Gandhi Bhawan, said the Chandigarh seat was important for the AAP.
Pawan Kumar Bansal's name was on the list of 'corrupt politicians' released by the AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal recently.
Atishi Marlena, 32, a key intellectual face of the AAP, said the process to finalise the candidate for the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat was on. Though they had interviewed only seven ticket aspirants in the city so far but in the coming days, they would interview more people, she said.
Justifying Arvind Kejriwal's resignation as Delhi CM, she said the AAP was voted to power to fight corruption. There was no point continuing with the government when they could not table the Janlokpal Bill in the Assembly. She alleged that the Congress and the BJP had a secret pact, adding that the parties were together on the issues of corporate funding to political parties and criminals contesting elections.
Youth wing in the offing
