AAP candidate against Salman Khurshid, a former journalist Mr Tripathi claimed that the party's local unit had collected Rs. 15 lakh during Arvind Kejriwal's visit to Farrukhabad, but spent only Rs. 4-5 lakh. He pointed out,"I demanded that there should be an enquiry into where the rest of the amount has gone," .
Mukul Tripathi returned his ticket for the national election to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which Mr Tripathi joined only three months back, and which he described today, unflattering, as running on "jugaad" and alleged that there was "corruption" in the party.
The former journalist said that the party, headed by Mr Kejriwal, does not have the organisation to take on a hefty candidate like Mr Khurshid. He claimed that he had been deceived by the AAP's top leaders about the party's actual strength in the constituency.He said, "When I asked, the district unit gave me a list of only 1700 followers, while it had earlier claimed that it had as many as 50,000 supporters in the area," .
In another important AAP decided to concentrate solely on Delhi as a long term strategy. Kejriwal, who arrived in the city of Chandigarh to campaign for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate and actress Gul Panag, went back to Delhi, cancelling his remaining road shows in Panchkula, Ambala and Sonipat in Haryana, reminding of the serious setback he received when he was kicked on neck by a man, who claimed to be the supporter of social activist Anna Hazare, in Charkhi Dadri town of Haryana's Bhiwani district.
INDIA HONEST feels Arvind Kejriwal has become to much greedy after his success in last Delhi election and in the haste of repeating the same on national level, he is thrusting more in the mouth then he can chew.
Though of late he has understood by now that only Delhi is his real bread and butter, not the rural India, and accordingly he is now concentrating more on reviving Delhi assembly election as his next political target.
On the other hand AAP's bubble on claims of internal transparency, honesty and coordination among the second rung leaders and cadres has gone bust,when regular informations are leaked , exposing the high ups completely naked.
