Neither down nor out, we will fight it out, says AAP founder member

“At that time, party had no office. I volunteered my house. The party started functioning from here in 2014. In 2015, it was formally inaugurated and it was given on rent to AAP for Re 1 per month. This is the same address on which the party’s office is registered with the election commission. The party was functioning from here till 2017 Assembly elections,” he said.

Sanghera worked closely with Kejriwal. He was among the ones who received him at the airport whenever he visited Punjab. But the party was not very kind on him. In 2017, he was nominated from Nakodar Assembly constituency.

But his ticket was withdrawn and given to SAD leader Sarwan Singh Hayer, who lost the election. Later, in 2022, he was not given the ticket which was given to Inderjit Kaur, despite him being the halqa incharge. But he continued to be with the party. He remained president of NRI wing, intellectual wing and spokesperson of the party.

“I will remain a loyalist,” he said adding that he knew the party, that emerged from struggles, would have to keep facing such struggles. Kejriwal’s arrest is purely political vendetta. It is a conspiracy on the lines of a fiction. They want to finish AAP, which is a fastest growing party. A state is competent to make its own policy. In this case, where is the money recovered? How is it then a case of money laundering?” One person is approver. There is no proof. Kejriwal faced CBI ins last tenure. We are now habitual of facing all this. But we will emerge stronger. We are neither down, nor out. We will fight it out, in the courts and on the streets. We are in high spirts.
