Kejriwal holds fund-raiser in Delhi

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal today held a fund-raising lunch for two of its candidates in south Delhi.
"A fund-raising lunch was held today for AAP candidates Dinesh Mohania and Praveen Kumar by Kejriwal at Bijwasan," a party source said.
"It would, however, be difficult to say how much donation was collected as we are still calculating the amount," the source added.
Mohania is a former AAP legislator from Sarita Vihar and is in the fray for that seat while Praveen Kumar is the party's Jangpura candidate.
AAP is organising such fund-raisers as these not only help the party to collect donations but also give Kejriwal an opportunity to establish direct contacts with people, the source said.

In a similar exercise held in Mumbai, AAP managed to garner a whopping Rs 91 lakh from a single event while another event organised by the party's traders' wing helped it collect Rs 50 lakh.
