AAP surge just a localised storm: Anand Sharma
January 24, 2014  15:50

Terming the Aam Aadmi Party's upsurge in Delhi a "localised storm", Union Minister Anand Sharma has said it was following a populist agenda that was pushing the society towards anarchy.        

 

Speaking here on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum annual meet, Sharma said the AAP's success in Delhi does not mean it would be replicated elsewhere in India.        

 

Asked whether AAP was adding to uncertainties, Sharma said there may not be a need to worry as this was like a "localised storm" and Delhi is a city state.         "It is true that they did well...that does not mean that it would be replicated elsewhere in the country. Also, what they are doing is populism of absurd extremes which is pushing the society towards anarchy," he added.        

 

On investor sentiment, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said India's economic potential and policies continue to attract businesses.
