Politics of India Political parties Elections

Aam Aadmi Party (translation: Common Man Party; abbreviated as AAP) is an Indian political party, formally launched on 26 November 2012. It came into existence following differences between the activists Arvind Kejriwal and Anna Hazare regarding whether or not to politicise the popular India Against Corruption movement that had been demanding a Jan Lokpal Bill since 2011. Hazare preferred that the movement should remain politically unaligned while Kejriwal felt the failure of the agitation route necessitated a direct political involvement.
The party's first electoral test was in the 2013 Delhi legislative assembly election, from which it emerged as the second-largest party, winning 28 of the 70 seats. With no party obtaining an overall majority, the AAP formed a minority government with conditional support from the Indian National Congress. The first point in its election manifesto had been that within 15 days, it would pass a bill for a strong ombudsman position that would investigate charges against political leaders on a priority basis.^[2] When it became clear that the other major parties would not support this bill, the government resigned after 49 days.

Aam Aadmi Party battles Narendra Modi in Delhi, Congress missing

The Lok Sabha elections in Delhi will test whether the AAP support base has eroded somewhat or if there’s any substance in BJP claims of a ‘Modi wave’.
In a near repeat of the strong turnout during the Assembly elections four months ago, 64.77 per cent of votes were cast for seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi by 6 pm Thursday but officials said this count was likely to rise since people were still in queues at several polling stations well past the deadline.
Since morning, people trooped out in numbers to cast votes, many before breakfast to beat the heat. As the day wore on, it became increasingly clear that the contest was narrowing down to a straight fight between the BJP and AAP at most places. The Congress, routed in the Assembly elections, appeared to be trailing, its polling agents missing at several stations.
The Lok Sabha elections in Delhi will test whether the AAP support base has eroded somewhat or if there’s any substance in BJP claims of a ‘Modi wave’. In the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, the overall voting percentage in Delhi was 52.3 per cent. This increased to 66 per cent in the December 2013 Assembly elections.

Most BJP supporters said prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was the reason why their party would get votes. To many, it made no difference who the local candidate was. Emerging from a polling station in Safdarjung Enclave, a woman announced she had “voted for the PM candidate” but had no idea who was the local party candidate.
AAP volunteers said they were encouraged by the “heavy turnout” in Muslim majority areas of the city, especially in central and south Delhi. Women dominated queues in several areas of Seelampur, Jafrabad, Babarpur. Many women said their families had asked them to go out and vote. “My husband ensured that I reached the polling booth with the other women of our neighbourhood,” a woman from Jafrabad said.
In New Delhi, Vice President Hamid Ansari, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal were among the early voters.
Accompanied by sitting MP Ajay Maken and Delhi Congress leader Arvinder Singh Lovely, Sonia Gandhi showed up at Nirman Bhavan to cast her vote. Maken was unperturbed by reports of the contest moving from a triangular fight to a straight one between the BJP and AAP. “People who voted for Kejriwal (in the Assembly elections) were traditional Congress voters who will vote for us this time,” he said.
Kejriwal was accompanied by his wife and parents when he went to the College of Art on Tilak Marg to cast his vote. “One has already lost the election while the other is considering himself the future PM. But people of the country will decide,”
