New Delhi : People from Delhi’s adjoining states were also present at the launch of the AAP’s Delhi Dialogue campaign to connect with voters of the capital.
“I have come here to support the AAP from Bhiwani (Haryana). We have to change the thinking of people,” Aditya Badgujar told IANS.
Rajesh Chauhan, who came from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, said he wants the AAP “to win again”.
Over 5,000 people from across Delhi were present at the campaign.

Free distribution of Gandhi caps
Unlike earlier rallies and public meetings of the Aam Aadmi Party, where the Gandhian cap with the party’s electoral symbol ‘broom’ on it was sold to supporters, this time it was distributed for free.
The cap became a rage following the anti-corruption movement launched by social activist Anna Hazare in 2011.

Apart from speeches and discussions at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, a five-minute documentary on the 49 days of the AAP government and musical programmes were also shown to party supporters.
Patriotic songs were sung by college bands and Punjabi singers. A new song of the party titled “Panch Sal, Kejriwal” was also unveiled.
