AAP may take on Modi on his home turf, contest all 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat
AHMEDABAD: Buoyed by its performance in Delhi assembly polls, Aam Admi Party (AAP) is planning to contest all the 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat and take on BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on his home turf.
The two-day meeting of AAP's executive committee, which started here on Saturday, is deliberating on planning and execution of the party's campaigning in the state for the 2014 elections, AAP's Gujarat convener Sukhdev Patel told PTI.
"We would like to contest on all the 26 seats and the deliberations are going on in the meeting about it," he said replying to a query.
After the good show in Delhi, AAP had hinted that they might field one of their young leader Kumar Vishwas from Amethi against Rahul Gandhi and now the party is planning to take on Narendra Modi, who might fight his first Lok Sabha elections.
When asked whether the party would fight against Modi, Patel said, "Yes, this is an important state as BJP's prime ministerial candidate comes from Gujarat. We have to take him (Modi) on here, as AAP has to fight all the Lok Sabha seats of the country when people are distressed with the present democratic system."
However, the state BJP has said that AAP does not present any competition to the party in Gujarat.
"Any political party is welcome to fight elections as they have right to fight. But in Gujarat, it is BJP all the way and there is Congress in some pockets. The system here is by-partisan and it will remain so. Many other political parties like BSP, LJP, NCP also contest elections from here," BJP spokesperson Harsad Patel said.
AAP, formed out of movement for Jan Lokpal Bill agitation, stunned BJP and Congress when it won 28 seats in the Delhi assembly elections in its debut.

Kejriwal questions Anna for
supporting Lokpal Bill in its
current form
CNN-IBN | 14-Dec-2013 19:49
PM
New Delhi: A parallel war erupted
between the Aam Aadmi Party
leader Arvind Kejriwal and anti-
corrution crusader Anna Hazare on
how effective the new Lokpal Bill
is.
Kejriwal in his tweet questioned
that how could Anna Hazare
support the Lokpal Bill in its
current form.
"I am really surprised, how can
Anna accept the sarkari Lokpal
Bill? Sarkari Lokpal is a 'jokepal',"
Kejriwal tweeted.
"Whatever Anna may say, we will
continue our fight for Jan Lokpal
Bill till our last breath," Kejriwal
went on to say.
He also expressed his skepticism by
asking who is misguiding Anna.
Kejriwal's comment comes after
Anna Hazare suggested moving
ahead with the amended Bill
presented in the Rajya Sabha and
said improvements in the
legislation could be brought
through amendments later.
"Time has come to move (ahead)
with the present draft of Lokpal
Bill and get it passed.
Improvements can be made later
through amendments once it
becomes a Constitutional reality,"
Hazare told as his indefinite fast
for a citizen's ombudsman entered
the fifth day on Saturday.
Interestingly, both the principle
political parties the Congress and
the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
have also come out strongly in
passing the Lokpal Bill in its
current form, but the AAP is still
expressing its reluctance.
I m really surprised. How
can Anna accept sarkari
lokpal bill? Sarkari lokpal is
a "jokepal". Who is
misguiding Anna?

My account got suspended when I asked Shashi Tharoor that does Congress feel ashamed that rape cases doubled and molestation quadrupled under Congress rule after Nirbhaya case.
He previously replied to me that women are now fearless and reporting more cases.
