The Aam Aadmi Party today released its “Samanyula Andhra Pradesh” manifesto for Kurnool Lok Sabha constituency.
The manifesto was released by Sudha Kiran, grandson of late P.V. Narasimha Rao, who is contesting on Aam Aadmi Party MP ticket from Malkajgiri. Sudha Kiran took up intense campaigning in Kurnool constituency for AAP candidates as soon as voting was over in Hyderabad yesterday. Sudha Kiran claimed that support to AAP has been tremendous in Telangana and Hyderabad, especially among the youth and it was AAP’s commitment that led him to join the party.
Speaking on the occasion, Kiran Vissa, AAP MP candidate for Kurnool said, “There has been tremendous positive response from people for AAP in Kurnool constituency. AAP has come up with a manifesto to put a systemic end to corrupt politics and to reach out to the needs and future of the common man through corruption free, transparent and accountable government. We gave a call to all voters to cast their vote for AAP, so that common people will get an opportunity to participate and control decisions related to their development since decentralized decision-making and swaraj are the core principles of the party.”
