New Delhi: AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said the party should not contest assembly elections in Haryana and Maharashtra, and underlined the need to focus in Delhi.
In an interaction with party’s Delhi volunteers on Google Hangout, Kejriwal said: “The Aam Aadmi Party should not fight Haryana and Maharashtra assembly elections. We should use all resources and volunteers in Delhi.”
Polls are slated in Haryana and Maharashtra later this year, while Delhi has been under presidential rule since Feb 17 after Kejriwal resigned as the chief minister over the stalling of the Jan Lokpal bill in the assembly.
In Haryana all of its 10 candidates lost their deposit, while Maharashtra was no better with the party losing all 28 Lok Sabha seats it contested. In Delhi too, the AAP failed to win even a single seat. However, it stood second in all seven seats. (IANS)
