AAP kicks off Lok Sabha campaign in Maharashtra Wednesday Feb 19,2014

 AAP kicks off Lok Sabha campaign in Maharashtra; hits out at 'corrupt' BJP, Congress
Launching its Lok Sabha campaign in Maharashtra with a roadshow and rally in Mumbai, the Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday Feb 19,2014 attacked both the BJP and the Congress for being corrupt and called itself a "real alternative" and not a "substitute" to the existing political establishment

Addressing the rally which saw an impressive turnout, senior AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said the country had not reached such a low point as to choose only between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi. "The common man would run the aam aadmi's government''
"When we talk of corruption by Congress, people say we know it, don't bore us. Where was Rahul when Commonwealth Games, 2G, Adarsh, irrigation scams came to light?"
"There are misconceptions about Narendra Modi. He makes big speeches and says I am a common man. But I want to ask: how did Adani grow in Gujarat? Who gave the corporate land at discounted rates? When Indian Air Force asked for land, Gujarat government asked for market value."

Also attended by AAP candidates  -
Mayank Gandhi
Anjali Damania
Medha Patkar
Meera Sanyal and
Vijay Pandhare
the rally was an effort to cash in on local sentiments, with the rookie party even honouring Maratha warrior king Shivaji by garlanding his statue.

Mayank Gandhi, candidate from Mumbai North-West said -
"We are working on a policy with Medha Patkar on slum redevelopment. No slum dweller will be evicted without being given a home. Each home will be 450 square feet carpet area."
