The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) headed by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has launched its campaign for the Lok Sabha Election 2019.

The party has informed that during the past about a week, it held meetings in different Lok Sabha constituencies of Delhi. It also has planned to hold 2 district level events in January and February 2018 in Delhi in order to organize the party workers for election activities.

In an official communique, the party has announced that it will appoint a total of 132,950 block heads in Delhi. Out of them, 18,030 will represent South Delhi.

Although AAP is perhaps the first political group that has embarked upon the Lok Sabha election campaign more than a year before the election, the party is not expected to win any seat in Delhi.

Most people believe that during the past about 3 years of its rule in Delhi, Kejriwal’s AAP has completely ruined the city-state.

Today, Delhi is among the most polluted and the dirtiest cities of the world, corruption is rampant in every street of Delhi while the Kejriwal government has failed to control it.

Similarly, the education standards – particularly in Delhi schools – are going from bad to worse while Kejriwal and his colleagues have been making false claims about the quality of education.

While Kejriwal is always busy in politics instead of governance, the people of Delhi have been suffering.
