New party to contest in 80 seats: Anupama Shenoy

Former police officer Anupama Shenoy said a new political party, to be inaurated at Koodligi on November 1, will field candidates in 80 Legislative Assembly constituencies.

The name and objectives of the party will be announced on that day only, she said at press conference here on Monday.

She said the registration for the party is on without any investment. "The fact that we don't have money is our strength. The costituency from where I will contest the election has not been finalised," she said.

She said Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal's thoughts and experiments will be adopted. "I had opposed politicians and corruption when I was the DySP. I had never opposed politics. All parties have given prominence to popular administration and anti-corruption principle. Our party will give importance to legal administration as well," she added.

She said she has opened a new Facebook account and people can give suggestions through it.
