Salim Arif, writer and theatre personality: "I think it's important that we make space for a third alternative. In the last three decades, this two party system has become an IPL kind of club. These parties don't relate to the local man's problems."

Ranvir Shorey, actor: "This is the only party that has a pulse on what's going on in the country right now. Look at other parties; what are they talking about? Water and electricity problems have still not been solved. People come into power and embezzle money for five years."

Raghu Ram, TV personality: "AAP is the new face of Indian politics."

Tejaswini Kolhapure, actress: "Over the years, we have just blamed the government, and no one is really doing anything. I strongly felt that I needed to do something about this apathy."
