The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) collected more than Rs. 1 crore on Wednesday, as 1,208 donors contributed generously. A section of AAP supporters said the windfall was a result of Narendra Modi’s comments against Kejriwal.

In his first direct attack on the AAP leader, Modi, the BJP’s prime minister nominee, said earlier in the day, “There are three AKs in Pakistan who are being admired: AK-47, AK Antony and AK-49 (read 49-day Delhi chief minister Kejriwal).”

Making the AAP’s day, one Ganesh Ramani from Hong Kong reportedly donated Rs. 62 lakh in cheque. While online donations are reflected on the party’s website immediately, contributions that come in other forms take some time to be updated.

The AAP received the huge amount in donation less than 24 hours after Kejriwal announced in Varanasi that he would take on Modi from the constituency and requested voters to contribute to the rookie party.

“I am ready to challenge Modi with the support of the people. I do not have any money. You will have to donate money to me. I request you to help me financially like Madan Mohan Malaviya was helped when he wanted to build the Banaras Hindu University,” he had said in the holy city.

The AAP, which is eyeing a spectacular national debut following its successful electoral outing in the Delhi assembly elections last year, received over Rs. 18 lakh from 795 donors and Rs. 48 lakh from 1,246 donors on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

From December 12 (after the Delhi poll results were announced) till date, the party has received more than Rs. 17 crore from 70,525 donors from 104 countries.

Online donation to the AAP had earlier kicked up a controversy, with the Centre seeking details of the transactions and moving a court over the issue.

Fund-raiser dinners are a popular way of raising money abroad by political parties but are new to India and being adopted by new-age political outfits like AAP. If all goes well, AAP should mobilize at least Rs 40 lakh at Rs 20,000 for 200 guests. The money could be much more: Rs 20,000 the base amount to participate in the dinner.

It was in March 2005 that Naveen Jaihind (32), the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Rohtak Lok Sabha seat, first developed aversion to widespread corruption. It happened when the Ghaziabad police sought a bribe of Rs. 5,000 to hand over the body of his 19-year-old cousin, who had died in a road accident.

Naveen, who hails from Bhainsuru Kalan village of Rohtak district, reluctantly paid bribe, despite the fact that about 10 of his relatives were working with either the Delhi police or the Haryana police.

Two years later, he saw Arvind Kejriwal on television, seeking support for cleansing the system by introducing Swaraj in the country, and he chose to go to Delhi to support his agitation with volunteers of Jaihind Chhatra Morcha, which Naveen had formed in 2006.

After working for a few years with Kejriwal, he was entrusted with the responsibility of providing security to social activist Anna Hazare in 2012. It was his morcha’s volunteers who undertook the task of securing the stage for Anna’s rally at Ramlila Maidan.

Now, he is gearing up to take on Congress heavyweight Deepender Singh Hooda, son of Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

“I’m the way I was and not interested in shunning my original self for any allurement,” says Naveen, the son of a small-time shopkeeper. He is the eldest of four siblings, who are all unemployed.

Sharing his first experience as a protester, he said: “I was in Class 12 when I staged a protest before my school principal for underpaying stipend money to National Cadet Corps students deputed at a village on election duty during 1999.”

Though he had to face suspension, the sit- in paid off as he and his partner were paid their due amount, he recalls.

MDU, HIS CRADLE

Taking up the cause of flushing out outsiders from the hostel of Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU), where he studied from graduation till PhD in physical education, he formed a student body, Jaihind Chhatra Morcha.
The chief job of their morcha was to org anise blood donation camps on martyrs’ anniversaries and gherao MDU authorities to press for students’ demands.

The surname Jaihind was suggested by free-dom fighter Lalti Ram, who came to inaugu-rate a blood donation camp on the MDU campus in 2005.

MEETING LIFE PARTNER

“I had vowed to remain a bachelor all my life till I met Swati, who was the in-charge of Delhi af fairs of India Against Corruption. I was moved by her conviction,” says Naveen, who married her on January 23 at an Arya Samaj temple in New Delhi. She had put her life in danger for him during an agitation when he was thrashed by the Delhi police, he adds.

Swati, an engineer by profession, is conducting a research on pesticides under a project of Greenpeace, an NGO.
