The AAP has remained different from other mainstream political parties also as it is led by highly motivated and heterogeneous volunteer network consisting people from a cross strata. A Business Standard report recently described the party’s use of the thousands of professionals who are volunteering as an ‘aam aadmi’ approach, through the stockbroker, the former Wipro employee and a ‘working professional’ that it quotes can hardly be categorised as aam aadmi. What they represent is the party’s two-fold approach: use professionals who identify with the idea of the AAP to use social media to raise funds for the campaign, but plan to get your votes from the real aam aadmi. The party’s website as well as its Facebook page solicit donations from non-resident Indians, professionals and others.
