Crowdfunding To Source AAP's Campaign: CM Atishi

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Sunday claimed that a crowdfunding campaign by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to fight polls is the biggest evidence of the party's honesty.

Addressing media persons here, CM Atishi shared that since its launch, the AAP has been fighting the polls with donations and the support of the Delhi people.

"Since AAP was launched, the people of Delhi supported the party and made donations with which it contested the polls and won. We used to do 'nukkad sabhas' and seek funds from the people of Delhi who used to provide money ranging from Rs 10 to 50 to support the 'Imaandari ki Rajneeti' (politics of honesty). Not only in 2013 but also in 2015 and 2020, people supported APP as we are honest," she said.

Hitting out at the opposition, she said that other political parties take money from influential people and work for them, but AAP takes money from the common man and works for them.

Sharing that she needs Rs 40 lakh to contest the polls from the Kalkaji constituency, CM Atishi said: "If we want to collect money with dishonesty and corruption, it would have taken less than a day to collect the amount."

CM Atishi said: "Collecting money by the wrong means is very easy for a Chief Minister. Delhi has a Budget of Rs 77,000 crore and Rs 40 lakh is .0000 per cent of it."
