Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday asked people to donate any amount of money to Aam Aadmi Party as it will contest Punjab assembly polls with the people's hard earned money against Akalis' alleged "ill-gotten money from drugs".

"As corruption starts from political donations, if you accept political donations from the corporate houses, you have to give it back by amending your policies to benefit such people", he said in Sangrur.

"Donate whatever small money you want to donate to AAP, as your money would be useful to defeat the corrupt regime of Akalis who are all set to spend their ill-gotten money from drugs, not only for their own party, but to the 'friendly' Congress too", the AAP national convener alleged.
 

He said AAP government was able to reduced the power tariff in Delhi only because it did not accept the political donations from corporate houses.

"How can you expect the schemes of social welfare from the political parties, which contest elections with the money donated by the corporate houses?" Kejriwal quipped.

Former Jathedar of Dam Dama Sahib Takht, Giani Balwant Singh Nandgarh also had a marathon meeting with Delhi Chief Minister.
