Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Rajinder Nagar Assembly constituency Raghav Chadha launched his election campaign amid cheers, large crowds singing and performing on AAP campaign song "Lage Raho Kejriwal' on Wednesday.
AAP Rajya Sabha MP and senior leader Sanjay Singh inaugurated the election office at Narayana Vihar. Hundreds of party supporters and senior leaders including AAP's MLAs Sukhbir Dalal, Ramchander and Surender Singh Commando were also present on the occasion. Singh insisted party workers to leave no stone unturned to make Raghav and AAP win in Delhi. AAP is planning a door-to-door campaign and Pad Yatras to reach each and every voter in all 70 constituencies, he said.
On this occasion, Chadha addressed the crowd and asked for their blessings. "I was born in Rajinder Nagar and both my father and mother and rest of my family live in this area. My mother's family is from Naraina Vihar and this whole area is like a family for me," he said.
Many of supporters shouted in favour of Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party for giving Rajinder Nagar a young, educated and dynamic candidate for the area.
Raghav's journey in AAP started back in 2012, working with teams from the grassroots, field experts and academicians to compile their findings and draft what became AAP's manifesto for first Delhi assembly elections.
When AAP took office in 2015, Raghav was involved in the drafting of the annual budget of the Delhi Government, working briefly but closely with the Finance Minister as advisor to give education and healthcare their due importance as promised to the people of Delhi.
