Kanpur, Feb 17- Following the footsteps of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will kick-start his Lok Sabha poll campaign from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh.
“Kejriwal will start his Lok Sabha election campaign from Kanpur on March 2. Party workers have received information regarding that from AAP’s Sanjay Singh,” said AAP member Omendra Bharat.
“The fact that many politicians choose Kanpur as the starting point for their election campaign, proves the significance the place holds in the political history of Uttar Pradesh,” Union minister Sriprakash Jaiswal told PTI.
“Kanpur is Uttar Pradesh’s commercial capital and people here are educated, that is why AAP has chosen it as the starting point,” said Bharat.
While Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had started his Lok Sabha poll campaign from Kanpur in 2004, BJP’s prime ministerial candidate also started the party’s general election campaign from here.
“The party workers are excited and busy in preparations for the campaign” said Aseem Triwedi, famous cartoonist and AAP member.
