Chandigarh: Punjab AAP chief and Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann has sought financial aid from people. In a video uploaded on Facebook, Mr Mann has requested financial support to defeat “rich politicians” contesting against him.
“I cannot defeat other politicians who are rich without money. I need money to run my election campaign and I seek your financial support. Kindly contribute ‘dasw-andh’ (one-tenth of your inco-me) to the AAP. Your contribution is a must to keep the corrupt away from politics and to motivate honest politicians like me,” Mr Mann says in the video. He says he needs money to get posters printed and to meet other campaign expenses.
He also shares his bank account number for online transfer of money. “When I receive the required money, I will upload another video telling you to stop sending it. I will be happy to contest the election with your money. I do not have any black money like other politicians and need your immediate financial support,” says Mr Mann. He added “You send the money, any amount--Rs 1, 5, 10, 100, 1000—and I will do my best.”
