New Delhi, Feb 12: Buoyed by the Aam Aadmi Party's stellar performance in the Delhi Assembly elections, the Maharashtra unit of the party has decided to fight all forthcoming local elections, including the Mumbai elections.
The AAP’s Bengaluru unit will also contest the municipal corporation polls likely to take place in August or September.
AAP National Executive Member Preeti Sharma Menon said the party will try to “replicate the Delhi model of pragmatism, performance, and people centric policies”.
“We are sure that Maharashtra will shower us with the same faith and love as Delhi has done so,” she said.
The party has decided to field candidates in all the 198 wards of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
"We have been planning to contest the BBMP election when we received a major shot in the arm. The Delhi victory happened because of the good work, which we want to replicate here," AAP's co-convener in Karnataka and party's BBMP campaign in charge Shanthala Damle told PTI on Tuesday.
Born out of an anti-corruption movement, the AAP led by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal registered the second landslide victory by winning 63 out of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections.
According to Damle, AAP in Bengaluru was working in full swing to make its presence felt in the city. "The party has already done its ground workin terms of election campaign and reaching out to the people in Bengaluru," she added.
According to her, the party has already opened around 10 offices and about 50 people have been announced as the assembly president or ward president.
Last month, the party launched a 40-minute movie called 'Hosa Bengaluru' (New Bengaluru) and conducted 50 shows already.
"It shows the Delhi model and explains what can be done in Bengaluru. So that is part of our vision," the AAP leader said.
In its next level of the campaign, AAP intends to conduct 'Jana Samvada' (Dialogue with people) in every street and in every ward.
The preparedness of the party can be gauged from the fact that it has identified many of its candidates for the BBMP elections.
The party has never tasted success in Karnataka anywhere but the Delhi's success story has kindled a new hope as many people would now be waiting to join the AAP, Damle said. The AAP cadres in Bengaluru burst into celebration soon after it became clear that the party was going to script history by forming government for the third consecutive time since its inception.
Sporting their signature caps, party workers lit crackers, danced on the Delhi election song 'Lage Raho Kejriwal'.
“Indians are failing to uphold the principles of Hindu religion,” lamented Dr K Marulasiddappa, the former chairman of the Karnataka Nataka Academy and an exponent of drama.

OK let's believe hinduism is fake, but why you guys don't teach quran in right way to terrorist.
Give me any verse from gita which say kill those non-bealiver who does not believe krishna. It's not your duty to kill innocent people at all.
You guys are already brainwashed, hence you never get what is humanity. In daily prayer, you don't seek help from GOD, you just say only allah should be worship, other are fake. It is not prayer, is it making someone into box, which he will never get out of it in whole life.
When Buddhist or Muslims ruled India was their greatest time period in history.
i take pity on wrong beliefs for Hinduism. The best available books on management,maths,politics,economics,philosophy,exercise,yoga are the parts of Hindu religion. The oldest religion in the world.
The people in the world are highly motivated and inspired by hindu religion.
muslims are safe only in countries where they are in minority, wherever they are in majority they are nuisance to themselves as well as others, take any country for example. Imagine if india was muslim country, muslims will make life hell for themselves.
No body will worship a sadist god who will burn some one eternally in hell for their finite crimes. No one believes that soul which has no birth and death is extracted from living , given a new body at time of judgement day and eternally lives in heaven or hell.
No one believes in a god who comes here and there and talk nonsense to so called angels and prophets , but can be heard only , not seen. No one believes in a god who is somewhere up above only but not everywhere or beyond space and time limitations.
