Arvind Kejriwal landed in Mumbai by air
Launching his party’s campaign in
Maharashtra, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal decided to travel the aam aadmi
way — riding an auto-rickshaw from the airport to Andheri railway
station, and then hopping on to the second class compartment of a train
to Churchgate. The move led to chaos, as the ensuing melee of AAP workers and assembled crowds inconvenienced commuters
Welcomed by a crowd of AAP activists, Arvind Kejriwal stepped out of the airport and hailed an auto rickshaw along with two other senior party leaders. There was a large media contingent and a significant police presence at the airport.

A contingent of police personnel, journalists and party activists trailed the auto rickshaw over the entire 5-km distance until Kejriwal got off near Andheri station.
Arvind Kejriwal then boarded the city’s lifeline Mumbai local to travel to Churchgate station in south Mumbai.
Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal's Mumbai visit created a lot of chaos, confusion and pandemonium outside the Churchgate station in Mumbai as he took a local train to woo the aam aadmi.
AAP workers damaged public property as metal detectors were broken and the Kejriwal's roadshow turned out be a nightmare for Mumbai residents.
Arvind Kejriwal himself faced many hurdles and had to skip some events, among them the much-hyped Jhadoo Chalao Yatra from the historic August Kranti Maidan, where he was supposed to address the media and attend a cultural programme.
The Mumbai police did not give AAP permission to start the yatra and objected to a cavalcade of rickshaws which accompanied the leader from the domestic airport to Andheri railway station, reasoning it blocked traffic at several places.
The railway commuters complained of inconvenience when the AAP
workers boarded the train with Kejriwal and then allegedly blocked the
daily commuters from entering the coaches. The AAP workers also damaged
two door-frame metal detectors at the Churchgate station.
The AAP's Lok Sabha candidate Mayank Gandhi blamed the police for the chaos and inconvenience caused to the people.
