AAP can become a major force in India, says Amartya Sen

February 21, 2014 21:20

Commending the Aam Aadmi Party's successful electoral debut in the Delhi elections, Nobel Laurette Amartya Sen today said that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party can become a major force in India.

"How much can you expect from a party immediately? Do I expect AAP to learn from experience? Yes, I do. Can it become a major force in India? I think it can. It has to move a fair distance in terms of policy priority and I hope they will think about that," said Sen.

The noted economist said that AAP's strategy and success in the Delhi elections is a major achievement.
