Adarsh Shastri

In a setback to the AAP, two of its MLAs quit the party after they were denied ticket for the February 8 Delhi Assembly election with one of them joining the Congress on Saturday.

The 20 AAP MLAs, who were disqualified on the Election Commission's (EC) recommendation for holding office of profit, have withdrawn from the Delhi High Court their earlier plea challenging the poll panel's initial decision to hear the issue.

Suspended Aam Aadmi Party leader Munish Raizada has demanded that the party leadership hold a free, fair and transparent meeting of its National Council which is scheduled on November 23 in Delhi.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today advocated the need to have hundreds of 'toilet-to-tap' sewage treatment plants to meet the burgeoning water needs of the residents of the national capital, which he said could not be met by conventional methods.

Delhi will get full wifi coverage in two years and around 700 wifi hotspots will be set up by February 2016, state government's Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of IT, Adarsh Shastri said today.

Media hype and then...nothing, writes Swapan Dasgupta

IT professional-turned-AAP leader Adarsh Shastri today lamented that Congress has "strayed" from the path of simplicity and probity as exemplified by his grandfather and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.

I was born lucky, not because I was born into wealth or power but because I was privileged to share the legacy of India's greatest Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. As I grew older, I was embarrassed when friends would shout out my lineage to the new teacher who I felt would already form an opinion about me.

Rajmohan Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Adarsh Shastri, grandson of former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, industrialist Rajiv Bajaj and popular singer Rabbi Shergil are likely to figure in the Aam Aadmi Party's second list of candidates for the Lok Sabha polls, due by May.
