Prithvi Reddy vows to stand up for the constituency

Prithvi Reddy, state convener, Aam Aadmi Party, said his party is standing up for the constituency, rather than for the whole state. Reddy, the party’s national executive member, is contesting from the Sarvagnanagar constituency.

Campaigning at HBR Layout on Thursday, Reddy told DH that the AAP wants to work as a strong Opposition since it is contesting in just 29 seats.
