Kejriwal’s party named Aam Admi Party

Arvind Kejriwal’s party was on Saturday named ‘Aam Admi Party' at a meeting of its founder members in New Delhi during which the Constitution for the organisation was also adopted.

The meeting of around 300 founder members was held at Constitution Club in New Delhi during which Mr Kejriwal proposed the name of the party which was accepted by other members, sources said.

The Constitution of the party was also adopted at the meeting. It was proposed by Mayank Gandhi and seconded by Chandramohan, they said.

The formation of the party came after a bitter split with Anna Hazare over the question of the anti-corruption movement taking a political plunge as Mr Kejriwal desired.

During the August fast, Mr Hazare and Mr Kejriwal ended the agitation saying they will work for providing a political alternative for the country to fight both Congress and BJP.

However, both Mr Hazare and Mr Kejriwal announced parting of ways on September 19 following differences over forming a party with the former sticking to his position that the movement should remain apolitical.

On October 02, Mr Kejriwal announced the formation of the party saying its official launch will be on November 26, the day Constitution was adopted in 1949.

Ahead of the meeting, Mr Kejriwal said on Saturday that common men, women, children are forming their party.

“They are not politicians. They are fed up of politicians. They are the people who are fed up of corruption and price rise. This is why the common man has decided to challenge them. Now the common man will sit in Parliament.

“Party’s vision is Swaraj. People should get the ‘Raj’. Committees will be formed. They will make drafts in four-five months. There will be discussions through the country,” he said.

Activist Yogendra Yadav said that the party will have provisions against domination by one family.

The meeting also saw some disagreement among a section of workers who were not allowed to attend it. A group from Tamil Nadu was seen arguing with a party coordinator on why they were not accommodated.

The above is from The Hindu.

At last we have a name for Kejriwal's party.

As per Robert Vadra - it is the Mango Party.

Now we have all to work to see that it gradually replaces all the existing parties.

24.11.2012 is a date to be remembered as on this day a new party is born which will make us Indians truly Independent.

Independent of Corrupt politicians.
