Mumbai: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) innovatively took to local trains, in an effort to reach out to railway commuters travelling on Mumbai's lifeline.
The party leaders distributed pamphlets in the local trains across Mumbai, to garner support for the I.N.D.I.A. bloc candidates.
"The Aam Aadmi Party is known for innovation towards voter outreach. Sixty lakh people travel by local trains daily. Moreover, railways directly come under the purview of the Central government," the AAP said.
According to AAP, 2,590 Mumbaikars lost their lives in the city last year in accidents. "This averages to seven deaths per day. This is a national disgrace and is completely unacceptable in today's technologically advanced world," it said.
"Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal's release from jail has galvanized the masses against PM Narendra Modi's tyranny. The palpable support for the Aam Aadmi party will prove to be decisive in the victory of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc's candidates in Mumbai," said Preeti Sharma Menon, Mumbai President, AAP.
"The response on the ground is tremendous. The people of Mumbai have made up their mind to vote for the I.N.D.I.A. bloc's candidates. The AAP volunteers will distribute pamphlets in local trains across Mumbai today and ask for votes for Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP(SP) candidates," said Ruben Mascarenhas, Mumbai Working President, AAP.
