Amid the much struggle for Aam Aadmi Party workers in getting its lost ground, AAP leader Manish Sisodia has accepted that Arvind Kejriwal's resignation as the chief minister of Delhi has dented the prospects of the party in the Lok Sabha poll.
Senior party leader Manish Sisodia said, "Arvind's resignation has indeed dented the party. We might not win as many seats as we could have won earlier. But he was not wrong."
He expressed his view in the midst of campaigning for the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat where Kejriwal has taken on BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Sisodia further adds hastily that Kejriwal's dramatic resignation "would be propitious in the long run as we are out to do clean politics."If Arvind wins in Varanasi, it will be equal to winning 100 seats," Sisodia said, while admitting it would be an uphill task.
'It is not going to be easy against Modi but opinion of people changes in a trice," said another AAP leader who did not wish to be identified.
"The campaigning will reach its fever pitch after April 30. And we have already covered some 50,000 houses as part of our door-to-door campaign," he added.
According to party sources, it has done an assessment of 100 seats in Lok Sabha. Out of 100, 41 seats were in the 'A category' where the party seems to be in with a reasonable chance.
