Swaraj Abhiyan will hold its first public debate, on the lines of US primaries, among candidates wanting to contest bypoll from Wazirpur ward.
The Abhiyan, led by Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, had shortlisted Sujata Gupta, Amanjyot Kaur, both related to Swaraj Abhiyan, and social activists Pankaj Gupta and Ashok Sharma as probable candidates to contest from Wazirpur ward.
Swaraj Abhiyan, which plans to portray the bypoll as a model based on US primaries, will arrange debates among four candidates to help people choose their 'lok ummedwar' (people's candidate).
On April 22, it will declare support to one of the candidates after people choose their 'lok ummedwar' from one of the candidates.
The organisation has also roped in services of former Chief Electoral Officer of Uttar Pradesh Noor Mohammad.
