AAM AADMI PARTY ISSUES ITS
SECOND
LIST
Continuing its crusade of
revolutionary politics, Aam Aadmi Party today issued its second list of 44
candidates for 10 more Delhi Assembly constituencies. A total of 84 candidates
had applied for these constituencies, namely Babarpur, Bawana, Chhatarpur,
Gokulpur, Krishna Nagar, Laxmi Nagar, Mustafabad, Rajouri Garden, Shalimar Bagh
and Vishwas Nagar. The Screening Committee comprising of 7 people went through
each and every application and finalized the list after interacting with the
applicants personally.
The shortlisted candidates
represent people from all walks of life. Musharraf Khan, a daily wage earner, is
one of the shortlisted candidates from Rajouri Garden assembly. Similarly, two
doctors Dr. Atul Gupta and Dr. Inder Singh are also part of the shortlisted
candidates from Vishwas Nagar. Another doctor, Dr. Jai Prakash Lohia who is now
into diary business also figures in the list. Jyoti Bansal, a party worker who
has now shifted to Australia, has also been shortlisted from Krishna Nagar
Assembly. The Screening Committee interacted with her through Skype, and
shortlisted her name.
Party volunteer Gopal Rai has
applied from Babarpur Constituency. Vinod Kumar Binny, AAP party worker and
councillor from East Delhi’s Kichdipur area has also applied for party ticket
from Laxmi Nagar. Vinod Binny has now joined Aam Aadmi Party formally and has
also started holding Mohalla Sabhas in his ward.
The screening process adopted
by AAP is a stepping stone in increasing transparency in democratic processes
where everyone has an equal say on all issues including decisions taken by the
party. Cutting across through typical party politics where all decisions are
taken by party high command, Aam Aadmi Party wishes to establish a new kind of
politics in which decisions are taken by the people.
In last Delhi Vidhan Sabha
elections held in 2008, Congress and BJP had fielded 19 candidates each, having
criminal background. BSP also gave ticket to 15 tainted people. The screening
committee created by Aam Aadmi Party has tried its best to avoid shortlisting
people who have any kind of criminal background based on information provided in
the candidate forms. Still, to check if these potential candidates have
suppressed any information, AAP is uploading their forms on the website.
Aam Aadmi Party has put the
profiles of these 44 shortlisted candidates on its website (www.aamaadmiparty.org) and would be soliciting
comments on these applications for the next 15 days. People can send in their
feedback on these candidates for the next 15 days through the following
ways:

Earlier, the party had
announced its shortlist for 12 constituencies. A lot of feedback is being
received on the shortlist. Based on preferential voting and feedback received,
the Political Affairs Committee of AAP would decide on the final list of
candidates for these Vidhan Sabhas. Apart from this list, party workers in a
meeting held on June 2 at Constitution Club had decided that Party Convenor
Arvind Kejriwal should contest elections from New Delhi Vidhan Sabha. Adding to
this the list of 10 Vidhan Sabhas declared today, a total of 23 Assembly
Constituencies have been frozen by the party.
