AAP Party has welcomed Election Commission direction to the Central Government to defer its decision of doubling the prices of natural gas from April 1.
The AAP Congratulates the people of the country for having supported the party stand on the issue.

Apart From This “AAP” Party strongly condemns Union Minister and NCP Chief Sharad Pawar’s advise to voters to indulge in bogus voting. AAP will write to the Election Commission and ask them to take strict action against Mr Pawar and his party NCP. Such brazen calls to indulge in corrupting democratic processes must not go unpunished.
