Jaipur, Feb 12: Following completion of polling in Punjab and Goa, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has now shifted its focus to Rajasthan, where it intends to contest the Assembly polls in 2018 from all the 200 seats.

“In every Assembly elections in Rajasthan, the people elect either the BJP or the Congress. There is hardly any difference between the governance of the two parties,” he told reporters, adding that people were looking at the AAP with “high hopes” this time.
Mr. Sisodia said the AAP would contest the 2018 Assembly polls from all the 200 seats in Rajasthan and also expand its presence in States such as Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Chhatttisgarh.
The Deputy Chief Minister said the AAP’s doors were open to members of other political parties, provided they had no criminal record or allegations of corruption against them. “A large number of people from business, medicine, bureaucracy and other sectors are in touch with us. We will welcome all of those having a clean track record.”
Mr. Sisodia said the AAP, as a party committed to its principles and people’s welfare, would not induct those taking up politics as a career. “Our party is for people who wish to bring about change in society through their hard work in politics. The AAP is not a career party,” he said.
He said the AAP government in Delhi had promoted probity in public life. A clean governance had ensured construction of a fly-over at a cost of Rs. 250 crore against the earlier estimates of Rs. 350 crore and medical clinics at Rs. 20 lakh against Rs. 6 crore, he said.
