AAP Declares Candidates For Lok Sabha Seats – 4 in Delhi, 1 in Haryana

The Aam Admi Party (AAP) declared on Tuesday its candidates for four Lok Sabha seats in Delhi and one in Haryana’s Kurukshetra constituency.

AAP has fielded Kuldeep Kumar from the East Delhi constituency, while former Delhi Minister and senior AAP leader Somnath Bharti will contest from the New Delhi Lok Sabha seat.

The party has fielded Sahiram Pahalwan from the South Delhi seat, while Mahabal Mishra will contest from West Delhi.

In Haryana, the AAP has decided to field Sushil Gupta from Kurukshetra.

Addressing a press conference, AAP leader Gopal Rai stated that his party has made a historic decision by fielding a Schedule Caste candidate from the East Delhi constituency, which is a general seat.

“In East Delhi, we have taken a historic decision. Kuldeep Kumar comes from a Scheduled Caste category, and this would be the first time in Delhi that a reserve category candidate will be fighting from a general seat,” Rai said.

Gopal Rai went on to say that the candidates’ names had been announced after taking into account all the calculations which will assure victory in the seats.

“From Bharuch and Bhavnagar, our candidates have been announced. The purpose of fielding these candidates is to ensure victory in whatever seats AAP will fight. So all calculations have been kept in mind,” he said.

Atishi, AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP, also praised the party’s choice to field Kuldeep Kumar from East Delhi.

“It is only the AAP that is trying to end caste-based politics in the country. We don’t look at which seat is for Brahmans, or Gujjars. We have ended such calculations. We just look at those who want to serve the public in an honest manner,” Atishi said.
