Mission Next: A genuine political alternative in Lok Sabha polls 2014, says AAP

New Delhi: Buoyed by its success in the Delhi assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal today said, its next mission would be to offer a genuine political alternative in next year's Lok Sabha elections. "We wish to reiterate that the Delhi election is only the first step in our political journey. We are here to challenge the political establishment throughout the country", a press release by AAP said. "We wish to assure the citizens of Delhi that AAP shall not take part in any political wheeling-dealing that might ensure following this 'hung verdict'. "We have made a solemn promise to the voters of Delhi that we shall neither seek nor offer support to any part of the corrupt political establishment of the country", AAP said."Aam Aadmi Party's success goes beyond the simple count of votes and seats. "The real significance of the rise of AAP lies in the challenge that it has posed to the established ways of the politics. "With its roots in the most extraordinary anti-corruption movement of this country, AAP has turned this into a battle against the corrupt political system. "It offered a systemic alternative by way of radical political decentralisation. "AAP's election campaign set a model for financial and political transparency." For the first time in the history of the country a political party collected “white money” for politics, made full disclosure of all donations received, met the target that it had set and refused to take any more donations. "Perhaps for the first time, a political party withdrew support to its official candidate purely on moral grounds, as the AAP did in Rajouri Garden." For the first time, a political party issued manifestos for every single constituency. "AAP broke away from the politics of caste and community vote banks and revived the culture of door to door canvassing. "The record turnout in this assembly election and the popular support for a new political outfit bears ample testimony to the public response to this new political beginning", AAP said in its press release."The outcome of Delhi Assembly elections heralds the arrival of a new force in Indian politics. "It reaffirms the widely felt disenchantment and disgust with the ruling UPA regime. "The decimation of the ruling Congress party shows beyond doubt that there is yearning for change. "Yet the inability of the BJP to secure a majority shows that the voters who want change are not satisfied with a mere substitute. "The spectacular debut of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) demonstrates that the aam aadmi of India is willing to trust alternative politics", says the press release.
