‘Our party has considerable presence in South India (Karnataka), but does not have the same effect in Delhi. Also, we support AAP and Arvind Kejriwal in his movement against corruption for which we have joined the party,’ Hasan, who joined AAP alongwith his followers, said.
He claimed that the entire Delhi JDS unit has now joined the AAP.
Apart from the JDS, Bahujan Samaj Party’s (BSP) state committee member Naseer Ali Khan and Congress’s Babarpur Vidhan Sabha incharge Salim Siddiqui also joined AAP.
