The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will contest all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar in 2019 to provide an alternative to the people, a party leader said on Friday.
AAP leader Rakesh Kumar Sinha told the media here that the party, which rules Delhi, had begun preparations for the general elections.
He said that unlike in 2014, there would be a wave against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
The AAP leader also accused Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of "ruining" the education system in Bihar.
"There is rampant corruption and education has been ruined in Bihar," he said.
Sinha said till June Nitish Kumar talked about a "Sangh-mukt" (RSS-free) India but had since joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance which he alleged was fully controlled by the RSS.
