Arvind Kejriwal in Mumbai
True to his style, Kejriwal will board a Mumbai local train today to kick-off his tour of the key western state.
As per the itinerary available in public domain, Kejriwal will take an auto-rickshaw from airport (after landing in the city) to travel to Andheri station – a 5 km-long journey.
The road show from the domestic terminal to the Andheri station will travel through AAP leader Mayank Gandhi's constituency, who will contest the Lok Sabha polls against sitting Congress MP Gurudas Kamath.
The AAP chief will then board the hugely-popular and city's lifeline Mumbai local, to travel to Churchgate station in South Mumbai.
There, Kejriwal will take part in a private fund-raising meeting, after which he will start another road show traversing the Mumbai South and Mumbai North East constituencies. AAP candidates Meera Sanyal, a former banker, and activist Medha Patkar will respectively contest from the two constituencies.
AAP, which is contesting its first Lok Sabha elections, is looking at Mumbai as its second major target after Delhi, where it formed a government for little less than two months with outside support from the Congress.
AAP hopes to raise huge funds from the country's financial capital, and a much-needed support from the urban centers around Mumbai ahead of the national elections. more
