In the door-to-door campaign, Kejriwal will visit New Delhi constituency areas, the party said.
"Huge door-to-door campaign starts tomo. We will reach every voter n explain why they shud vote AAP n not BJP, how voting for Cong in Del will mean voting for BJP. We will also ask for donations from each voter(sic)," Kejriwal tweeted. AAP leaders and workers, including Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, will also approach people for votes and donations across the city in the campaign that will continue till the dates of the LS election are announced.
It was on Monday, when Kejriwal had launched the party's donation campaign "Aap Ka Daan, Rashtra Ka Nirman," at Talkatora stadium.
"An important element of the campaign will be to inform the voters that seven Lok Sabha MPs should be those who can strengthen the hands of the Kejriwal Government," it said.
Party volunteers will ask people to compare the performance of seven BJP MPs with that of the Kejriwal Government in the city.
Moreover, volunteers have also been tasked to inform people about "cheap" electricity in Delhi, free water, major improvement in Delhi Government schools, free treatment, reining in of fee hike by private schools and Mohalla Clinics.
“The AAP will also "strongly" raise the issue of Metro fare hike and sealing drive, during the Lok Sabha election campaign and will "expose the silence" of the BJP MPs on these important issues, it said. The party has announced its in-charges for Lok Sabha polls for all the seven parliamentary seats currently held by BJP MPs in Delhi.
