While AAP is accused of worth crores of corruption, Delhi CM Atishi Marlena asks for donations worth 40 lakhs from people

Atishi, who is Aam Aadmi Party candidate from Kalkaji, asked people for worth 40 lakh donations on the basis of her party’s politics of ‘work and honesty’. She released an online link to receive donations.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi Marlena on Sunday launched a crowdfunding campaign for her party ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Atishi, who is Aam Aadmi Party candidate from Kalkaji, asked people for worth 40 lakh donations on the basis of her party’s politics of ‘work and honesty’. She released an online link to receive donations.

”The AAP has always fought elections with the help of small donations from the common man which has helped it pursue the political of work and honesty”, she said.

It is interesting to see AAP launching a crowdfunding campaign for elections when some top leaders of the party including its national convenor and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal were arrested last year on corruption charges.

Former Delhi CM and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal was arrested due to corruption charges relating to Delhi Liquor Policy Scam. He was later granted bail with conditions.

Former deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and one of the founding members of AAP, Manish Sisodia, was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection to the Delhi Excise Policy Scam in February 2023. He is currently out on bail.

Satyendar Jain was one of the key ministers of the Delhi government. In May 2022, he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection to a money laundering case. He was later released on bail.

AAP MLA from Okhla and prominent Muslim face of the party Amanatullah Khan, was arrested and sent to jail for a brief period in a case related to illegal recruitment and financial misappropriation as the chairman of Delhi Waqf Board.

Former AAP Minister in Punjab, Vijay Singla, was removed from the cabinet by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in May 2022. Singla was accused of corruption and arrested by Punjab Police.

These are only some of the names from the AAP who are facing corruption charges. Besides, Arvind Kejriwal is also accused of using around 45 crores of public money for renovating the Delhi CM official residence. Last year in December, the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi had ordered the Vigilance Department to conduct an investigation into luxury items at the Delhi CM’s official residence.
