With not even a fortnight left for the Feb. 7 electoral face-off in the national capital, students and youths from all over the country have started trooping into the city over the last few days to bolster its efforts in seeking votes here.
The party claims that more than 4,000 volunteers from across the country have signed up for the drive.
"We have been doing this for more than a month now. Previously, it used to be only on weekends but, with a few days left for the elections, we have increased its frequency," said Kamal Kishore Pandey, a software engineer who took a day off to campaign for the party at Sarojini Nagar market.
"In my team, I have a lot of people from Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal and several other states who just came here for their love of the party," he added.
"I am not seeing this as a campaign but as a way to make people aware of their basic rights. People should know about their right to vote. They should take part in the festival of democracy," said the law student as he campaigned for AAP in Lajpat Nagar today.
AAP today organised 'Buzz' campaigns at 10 important locations, including at the Rajeev Chowk, Karol Bagh and Kashmere Gate Metro stations. The party plans to spread the drive to at least 80 locations before Delhi polls.
