Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today said it has received a request from BJP leader and former Mayor of South Delhi Municipal Corporation Savita Gupta to join them.
"She had come to our party headquarters and expressed her desire to join AAP. We have always said that anyone is welcome to join our party but there is a process and criteria for that, which they need to fulfill," AAP spokesperson Manish Sisodiya told reporters.
Sisodiya refused to divulge whether the party has decided to accept her proposal or not.
Asked about the party's candidate from Krishna Nagar assembly constituency against BJP's chief ministerial candidate Harsh Vardhan, he said the party is yet to decide it.
Gupta, a BJP councillor from Amar Colony and former Mayor of South Delhi, has resigned from BJP's primary membership after she was denied ticket by the party for coming assembly poll in Delhi.
