With ambitious plans of systemic change while projecting themselves as an alternative to the “corrupt” political establishment, anti-graft crusaders Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan have launched a political party, calling it the Aam Admi Party (AAP).
Although unveiled in the modest setting of a press conference, the AAP is aiming high, promising empowerment of the common man, decentralization of power, lawmaking through referendum, devolution of decision making powers to gram sabhas and an accessible judicial system. Pitching the party as a platform for aam admi, Kejriwal said there would be men and women representatives from the village or college levels up to the national level. The constitution that was adopted by the AAP betrayed an effort to address the concerns of Gandhian Anna Hazare and others.
Aam Admi Party to begin electoral fight in Delhi, where assembly elections are due in 2013-end To set up national council of 320 members, 30-strong national executive, besides state, district councils. Relatives of these members will not be part of any council at any level
