Unlike other AAP events, where such lunches and dinners are organised by the party or its frontal wings, the event was organised by AAP s Greater Kailash assembly constituency unit, former Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
"We have until now collected more than Rs 20 lakh, but the figure will rise as many people have promised to give their cheques tomorrow. So, we are not counting that amount.
"Also, some people have promised logistical support like providing a xerox machine, desktops and printers," said the former transport minister.
Unlike other events like lunch with traders, where around a majority of the people were traders, this had a blend of IT professionals, businessmen, professors from Greater Kailash constituency, the former AAP MLA said.
