Mangalore : AAM AADMI Party Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha candidate Mr. M. R. Vasudeva said, “Janatha Janardhan (aam admi) has expressed their desire that AAM AADMI Party Dakshina Kannada will remain outside the Parliament for some time. The Aam Aadmi Party of Dakshina Kannada accepts their decision. We will continue to take up the causes that affect people’s lives.”

“Congratulations to BJP supporters. BJP won this election. I’m still proud of the fact that I supported, contributed and voted for Aam Aadmi Party. AAP’s debut is encouraging. Now I know that there are thousands of people who are supporting AAP in Mangalore. AAP is here to stay.” said Deepak D’Souza, an AAP volunteer.

“This is just the beginning of the journey that started just a little over 500 days ago with the launch of the party. This election eventually became one between Modi (Namo) and non-Modi (Nomo). Even though AAP has won just a few seats, the party has succeeded in bringing about change in the political landscape by highlighting issues such as Crony Capitalism and a system that has many flaws.” said Shaik Sadiq, an AAP volunteer.

“It is a long and winding road to the door of the bastion of corruption. Nationally, AAP has won more seats than BJP did when it first contested in 1984 as a merger of Jan Sangh and Janata Party. AAP-DK started from scratch and in many instances had members who came from established parties and detractors creating fissures within. Being the world’s largest democracy, we should be proud of a successful election that was concluded peacefully, regardless of our party affiliations. This is the first time since Independence that a party other than Congress has won absolute majority. If Shri Narendra Modi attends to some of the issues highlighted by AAP, by introducing good governance and reining in rampant corruption, then AAP will have accomplished some of its stated objectives. ” Said Rajan Shastri, an AAP volunteer.”
