Phenomenal Candidates in AAP's 6th List for Lok Sabha

Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) 6th List of candidates is out :

We know, as AAP supporters, that AAP will make mistakes and learn from it. Thats ok with ur.

After looking at some candidates fielded, I am absolutely proud of AAP's intentions, I see in reality that it walks the talk as far fielding the candidates is concerned, sincerely working on fielding many more women candidates, bringing in representations from marginalized communities and bringing in clean candidates.

COUPLE of HIGHLIGHTS that happened:

1. Soni Sori is AAP Candidate from Bastar, Chattisgarh:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Every time I read her story, my spine shivers. Finally Supreme Court of India came to her rescue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soni_Sori
Its a proud moment for AAP that she agreed to be AAP candidate. She must be having some hope in AAP. And that hope should always be kept alive.

2. Kanchan Chaudhury Bhattacharya is AAP Candidate from Haridwar, Uttarakhand
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember Udaan, the Hindi serial that would come in TV when we were kids ? It was based on her life. She was India's First Woman Director General of Police. Again, a proud moment for AAP for these folks to have expressed hope in AAP. I am pretty sure AAP will work hard along with this fantastic folks in creating a better, equal India.

Finally, a couple of days back, one lady said, if given a chance to vote, she will vote for AAP. And this woman went on Hunger Strike in 2000 in protest against killings of civilians in Manipur on a fateful thursday. She continues to be on hunger strike and is force fed by the Police. She is Irom Sharmila. Read about her:

Thank you Irom Chanu Sharmila for your hope in AAP. We hope we will never break it.

I hope AAP by bringing in people from different segments will tirelessly be creating a society where no one is marginalized based on economic, caste or religious status.

If you have hope in AAP, let your friends know. Also, you can donate at https://donate.aamaadmiparty.org/

Irrespective of whether AAP wins or not, bringing these people to contest elections is a huge initiative as we keep seeing as high as 40 to 50% corrupt criminal candidates being fielded by parties like Congress and BJP. I hope people of India grab this opportunity to opt for an alternative. Tell your families and Friends to grab this oppotunity. You will be proud you too played a role in exceptional elections in the Indian history since independence.
