"The land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mahatma Phule, Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and the cradle of progressive politics - Maharashtra is ready for the Aam Aadmi Party and several people from across the spectrum are ready and have expressed their willingness, to join the party. The party organization will be rebuilt in the same robust manner, as it has been done in other states, where Aam Aadmi Party is playing an active political role. We are confident that with the Maharashtra leadership and the leadership from Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party will be able to provide the glorious state of Maharashtra, with alternative politics, politics of actual welfare rather than '50 Khoke' politics that we have seen so far," Preeti Sharma Menon said.
