Within three hours of launching a crowd-funding campaign in run-up to the Lok Sabha election, AAP’s East Delhi candidate Atishi today received over Rs 2 lakh donations from supporters.
Support for candidature of Atishi, who is known to have spearheaded several initiatives in government schools undertaken by the AAP-led government, started pouring in today on the Twitter. Her supporters helped raise funds for the AAP leader soon after she launched a crowd-funding campaign for the upcoming polls at 3 pm.
Former BJP leader and union minister Yashwant Sinha, who was one of the first political leaders to endorse Atishi’s work as adviser to Education Minister Manish Sisodia, posted a video on the microblogging site in which Sinha said Atishi’s efforts have dramatically improved the condition of government schools and someone like her needs to have a voice in Parliament.
