The Saturday fund raising dinner at Bangalore with AAP leader Kejriwal has fetched Rs 50 lakh.
“Around 200 people attended the dinner. We have gathered about Rs 50 lakh,” CN Radhakrishnan, a member of the group that organised the event said. The dinner was priced at Rs 20,000 a person. “A few people had pledged support to us but could not attend the event... they will be sending in their contributions soon,” he added.
The event was an initiative by a group called “Well-wishers of AAP” co-ordinated by former Infosys board member and party candidate from Bangalore Central constituency V Balakrishnan with an intention to raise fund for the party in a “transparent manner”.
