New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Saturday said it would contest the Lok Sabha election under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal, a day after he quit as Delhi chief minister.


AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said at a press conference here after a party meeting that its first anti-corruption rally will be held Feb 23 in Haryana's Rohtak district.

The second rally will be held March 2 in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The rally will be led by Kejriwal.

Yadav justified Kejriwal's resignation Friday, saying the AAP has set a precedent as a government that is willing to quit.

"AAP was formed to contest election on several principles and one of the foremost thing was the Jan Lokpal bill," he said.

"As we were not allowed (to introduce the bill) and it became clear that in this assembly, it was impossible for AAP to even introduce the bill on Jan Lokpal, the party complimented Arvind Kejriwal for taking a clear decision of resigning," he added.
