Bubbling with confidence, the Aam Aadmi Party is sure of winning the Delhi Assembly elections with Arvind Kejriwal as its chief ministerial candidate who today vows to hold a special people's parliament (Jan panchayat) on December 29 and pass the Jan Lokpal Bill.

"ÄAP will get the Jan Lokpal Bill passed in the state assembly on December 29. It will call a special assembly at Ramlila Maidan and pass the bill. On this day two years ago, they mocked Anna's Lokpal Bill in Parliament. Now, we will get that passed," said Kejriwal during a press conference here.

Talking on the issue of corruption and price rise, he lashed both the Congress and BJP, challenging them to disclose the source of their donations just as the AAP has put all the details on its website open for public scrutiny.

Formally announcing the AAP's CM choice, party member and psephologist Yogendra Yadav said, "Survey has brought out the public mood and after a long time, Delhi has a candidate it can trust on. We have always projected Arvind Kejriwal as our CM candidate face."

New Delhi, October 5
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today challenged the main opposition parties in Delhi, BJP and Aam Aadmi Party, to provide proof of their charges of corruption in the government.

She said that both the parties are misleading the electorate to win the elections.

Addressing a press conference along with DPCC president Jai Prakash Agarwal and AICC general secretary Shakeel Ahmed, the Chief Minister attacked the BJP and AAP sharply, saying that neither party had an alternative agenda for the Capital's development.

She was also confident about the fourth straight victory in the electoral battle.

"Both BJP and AAP have been defaming us by alleging that there has been corruption in our government. If you have come across cases of corruption, then please tell us where is corruption. Nobody becomes corrupt if you keep repeating the charges. I challenge them to give us proof of graft. We will take action," she said.

New Delhi, October 5
Two unlicensed printing units located at Chandrawal near Kamla Nagar were sealed today and remaining about hundred such units had been asked by the local police to be closed, sources said.

This action has been taken by the local police just the second day after the Election Commission had announced the date of assembly elections and ordered that each printing press had to mention its telephone number and licence number on the election material printed by it.

On condition of anonymity, a printing press owner said, "We do not have licence. But this is not our fault. The MCD has banned the issuing of licence to the printing press.”

The BJP has a number of projects for the uplift of Purvanchalis as they live in miserable conditions in the Capital. The projects will be mentioned in the party manifesto, said Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel.

Addressing a conference, Goel said, "Purvanchalis living in Delhi are part and parcel of the city but they have been completely neglected by the successive Congress governments.
