AAP office in Hyderabad erupts with jubiliation
HYDERABAD: Scores of leaders and members of the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana units of Aam Aadmi Party poured into the party's modest office at Basheerbagh in the heart of the city to celebrate the party's thumping victory in the Delhi Assembly elections.
The partymen were unanimous in their opinion that the Delhi election outcome would have an impact on the upcoming elections in Bihar and Punjab.
AAP's Telangana state convener R Venkat Reddy said people of all strata had cast their vote for the party. 'Literates, illiterates, poor, intellectuals and university students have exhibited their trust in Aam Aadmi Party,' he told reporters.
Alleging that corruption was rife in Telangana and throughout the country, he said that the party cadre would reach out to people in all areas of the state the way they did in Delhi.
AAP's Telangana state council member PL Vishweshwar Rao said the landslide victory in Delhi would have an impact on the upcoming elections in Bihar and Punjab.
Cautioning the party men to take the victory with humility and modesty, he said prime minister Narendra Modi should draw a lesson from the poll outcome and political parties should shed arrogance.
Asked if AAP would contest the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections, Vishweshwar Rao said they would decide on it after holding discussions with the party's central leadership.
KCR Pats Kejriwal for fantastic victory
Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Tuesday congratulated Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on his party's 'fantastic' victory in the Delhi Assembly elections.
'The victory is a clear indication that the voter, by and large, and particularly the urban voter wants a change and has rightly voted for you and your party.
It shows that people are expecting a corruption-free and transparent governance everywhere,' Rao said in a letter to Kejriwal and recalled that AAP had supported the democratic desire of T people for a separate state.
