Keeping an eye on the Lok Sabha elections next year, Aam Aadmi Party has stepped up their drive to collect funds. They have urged their supporters to donate Rs 2,014 or more for the party, in order spread their reach to all parts of the country.
Letters have gone out to supporters soliciting Rs.2,014 or more, to add to their election kitty. ‘We will be contesting the Lok Sabha elections in many states and we will need your support. Let us kick off 2014 with at least 2,014 supporters donating Rs.2,014 or more,’ the letter said.
By 5 pm on Thursday evening, the AAP website showed several donations of Rs 2,014 from Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Odisha, West Bengal, Finland and Qatar. The party’s site says, ‘2013 was a truly eventful year. We have set in motion a huge wave of change across India which we believe will transform our country’s politics forever.’
‘2014 too will be a year of Aam Aadmi’, it added. But the party is accepting contributions even as low as Rs 10 and Rs 11.
Most donations seem to have come from Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. Donations have also come in from other parts of India including Kerala, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand.
According to the website, the AAP has collected Rs 3.89 crores since the 4 December elections, which catapulted the party onto the national stage. Of this, Rs 33 lakhs was collected on Thursday alone. Maximum contributions have come from within India, followed by the US, the United Arab Emirates, Britain, Singapore and Qatar and countries with large concentration of the diaspora community.
