New Delhi: After making an impressive debut in Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today said it will contest Lok Sabha elections and hinted that one of its leaders Kumar Vishwas would be contesting against Rahul Gandhi from Amethi.
AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal also appealed to "honest" people from all spheres and political parties, including Congress and BJP, to join the party in the fight against corruption.
