AAP, splinter group may lock horns in 2017 civic polls

Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Yogendra Yadav’s Swaraj Abhiyan may come face to face as both the parties are planning to contest the 2017 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation election.
Swaraj Abhiyan’s Maharashtra state executive in a meeting passed a resolution stating that it wanted to fight the civic body elections in Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
“We will contest every single seat for the Mumbai municipal elections. We want to offer people an alternative to the parties that already exist in the city.” says Shakil Ahmed, the organization’s Mumbai district committee president.
The Swaraj Abhiyan is a social organization and it will have to register a political party in its name in order to fight the BMC Elections in 2017. “We hope that we will have formed a political party before the 2017 civic elections in Mumbai,” says Lalit Babar, a member of Swaraj Abhiyan’s national executive.
In case the organization is unable to to form a political party before the Mumbai BMC elections, the Swaraj Abhiyan will consider pitching independent candidates for the election.
