Aap Nri

The Sangam Hotel in town has turned into a meeting place for a group of men on a mission, which is emblazoned on their sweatshirts: "Chalo Punjab." Some of them are meeting for the first time; all are Non-Resident Indians or NRIs. Most are from Canada and Australia and will spend the next week pounding the pavement, soliciting votes for the parties...

When 150 Non-Resident Indians or NRIs landed at Amritsar early this morning, they were welcomed by senior leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party who dispatched them as campaigners.

At 3 am on Thursday, Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia stood waiting at the Indira Gandhi International Airport with a welcome party of a dozen Aam Aadmi Party lawmakers and hundreds of volunteers singing and beating drums, unmindful of the Delhi winter cold.

AAP claims that 2,500 NRIs from Punjab have returned to pound the pavement for votes, determined to help the party take charge of their home state.

The NRIs who are working with us include young girls and boys as well as middle-aged Indians who are fed up with the state of affairs in India and want the system to change.

Suspended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Munish Raizada today appealed party members and volunteers to observe fast on November 29 to highlight what he alleged gradual decline in the values and principles on which the Arvind Kejriwal-led outfit was founded.

With eyes set on the 2017 Punjab Assembly polls, a delegation of AAP leaders has flown to Canada to woo the NRI Punjabi Indian community settled in the North American country in a bid to strengthen the party's voter base in the state as well as attract overseas donation.

Two senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) volunteers - one from London and another from Chicago - today said they have launched an internal Lokpal which would act as a pressure group or watchdog within the party.

It was a strange sight that greeted people at Trafalgar Square: A bunch of people belting out "Paanch Saal Kejriwal", breaking into flash dance and congratulating each other. It was around 8 in the evening and bitingly cold.

Arvind Kejriwal is headed to New York. On Sunday, his Aam Aadmi Party or AAP is holding a fund-raiser in Manhattan.

Only a fraction of some three million Indian-Americans have a vote back home. But everyone seems excited about the Lok Sabha elections that many hope will usher in a "clean government" and help put India on the world stage.

Over tea, a group of NRI friends gather to talk about Indian politics. The group, comprising mostly IT Professionals, are all supporters of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Discussions range from why India needs a "cleaner" system to more emotional disclosures about why many Indians left home and what needs to change.

Rejecting the allegation of illegally receiving foreign funds, Aam Aadmi Party has told the Delhi High Court that it got donations worth Rs 30 crore from only Indian citizens, out of which about Rs 8.5 crore came from NRIs.

Leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party or AAP have failed to share information about their funding, the union government said in the Delhi High Court today.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi may barely be 10 days old, but its volunteers are already working overtime to go national. The party, in particular, is banking on Non-Resident Indians or NRIs to raise funds and help canvass votes for the party for the national elections, due by May.
