Topic - Aam Aadmi Party

Aam Aadmi Party (translation: Common Man's Party; abbreviated AAP) is an Indian political party, formally launched on 26 November 2012. It came into existence following differences between the activists Arvind Kejriwal and Anna Hazare regarding whether or not to politicise the popular India Against Corruption movement that had been demanding a Jan Lokpal Bill since 2011. Hazare preferred that the movement should remain politically unaligned while Kejriwal felt the failure of the agitation route necessitated a direct political involvement. The party's political symbol for the 2013 elections in Delhi is a Broom. - Source: Wikipedia
