NEW DELHI: Expelled AAP leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan today launched a new political outfit ‘Swaraj India’ and declared it will contest Delhi civic polls but will skip Punjab election scheduled next year.
Lashing out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for “betraying the aam aadmi”, Yadav, who will head the new party, said it would offer “alternative politics” and not resort to “cult politics”.
Swaraj Abhiyan, an organisation, formed by the duo after their expulsion from the AAP in April last year, said the outfit will continue to exist as a separate entity, giving people who don’t wish to participate in electoral politics an alternative platform. Bhushan will head the organisation.
Abhiyan has been campaigning on varied issues, ranging from agriarian crisis to corruption.
“Now that we are a political party, it is not that we will contest every election. (AGENCIES)
