Political position of AAP needs update to centrist only

There are many instances where AAP government is supporting facilitation of private businesses and also making for them to increase the position of Delhi or India in ease of doing business over all. We don't call Europe a left-centric because it's giving services to its citizens like minimum wedge, free health, free education like in Finland, etc. AAP also had removed a minister because he was asking for bribe even though he was a Muslim(so no minority appeasement as well, or economic control of state). During AAP Delhi has become a startup hub. Ideology should be Centric only. Attached some articles for reference: 1. https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/dipp-lists-aap-government-steps-in-ease-of-doing-business-achievements/articleshow/52330687.cms 2. https://aamaadmiparty.org/jobs-and-economy-economy/ 3. https://theprint.in/india/delhi-govt-plans-to-facilitate-food-hospitality-sectors-to-boost-night-time-economy/890771/ 4. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/capital-gains-how-delhi-turns-a-startup-hub/articleshow/89257491.cms 5. https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2022/feb/07/delhi-from-jugaad-to-startup-hub-2416355.html RashmikantT (talk) 22:35, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

The citation given for the Aam aadami Party being Central to Central left actually States otherwise: it states that Aam Aadmi Party is influenced by both Central left and Centre right ideology so omiting the right ideology is wrong. Aam aadami party is a centrist party RashmikantT (talk) 20:03, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Ideology of AAP in table should not contain Economic Nationalism but below 3 points

National convener of Aam Aadmi Party(kind of like boss of AAP) has made it clear many times what is the ideological pillars of Aam Aadmi Party 1. Staunch Nationalism 2. Staunch honesty 3. Humanity AAP has never promoted economic Nationalism, it is facilitating free market economics on many occasions just because the school, health are under government funding does not mean it is economic nationalism. Economic nationalism requires a major stake of government into businesses which is not the case for AAP governments. In fact it works on economic liberalisation where if one gives a solution with the right or left ideology then go with it and not follow a particular ideological cum economic model. Some articles are for reference purposes: 1. https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/staunch-nationalism-at-core-of-aap-ideology-says-arvind-kejriwal-1931083-2022-03-29 2. https://aamaadmiparty.org/about/why-we-are-different/ 3. zeenews.india.com/india/hardcore-patriotism-diehard-honesty-humanity-of-aap-ideology-arvind-kejriwal-2449039.html/amp 4. https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-fundamental-ideologies-of-the-Aam-Aadmi-Party/answer/Atul-Kumar-Dwivedi-3?ch=15&oid=27535049&share=7e4b9bf4&srid=XHaET&target_type=answer (it's an opinion)

On this occasion, I also would like to flag practices that are happening on the Aam Aadmi Party Misplaced Pages page. People are making guesses, assumptions without any proof or credible source, I do not know the intent behind it but one might guess their prejudice regarding Aam Aadmi Party. RashmikantT (talk) 23:10, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Disagree, this would be a biased opinon by founder of the party, should not be added on wiki. NPOV fail. Amitized (talk) 09:07, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Aam aadami Party has never supported economic nationalism ends it should be removed from the ideology column of the Aam Aadmi Party. RashmikantT (talk) 12:43, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

To give you one example economic nationalism means when the state controls majority of the economic things like in China, however AAP doesn't have any history or intentions. One incident or one opinion of someone from some website cannot decide the ideology of some party. I strongly recommend to remove the economic nationalism from the table or provide a relevant source if any. Again providing social security does not mean economic nationalism. Providing social security is common practice in European Nations nobody calls them as followers of economic nationalism... RashmikantT (talk) 12:46, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Nisha Singh update

AAP councillor Nisha Singh convicted and sentence to 7 years of imprisonment. Should we add it in the article? Amitized (talk) 09:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Deleted text

The sources cited for the above passage are as follows:

• Joshua, Anita. "AAP's agenda has long been the Communist programme: Karat". The Hindu. Archived from the original on 18 March 2014. Retrieved 12 March 2014.
  • This says: Without revealing the party’s hand on whether the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) could be a potential ally, Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Prakash Karat on Thursday said the virtues the new party claims for itself and its agenda of social justice, democratisation and decentralisation of power has long been the Communist programme.
• Anuja. "CPI (M)'s Karat hails Kejriwal's AAP as communist". LiveMint. Archived from the original on 12 March 2014. Retrieved 12 March 2014.
  • This says: “The virtues that AAP claims for itself—a clean image, incorruptibility, denial of perks and privileges of power, and funding based on people’s contributions—are all part of the style and practice of the communists from the outset,” Karat said in an article in People’s Democracy, the party’s organ.

So clearly the two cited sources support the old version of the text.

An editor wishes to make the change above. His/her argument is It is to justify the government stand on economic policies the webpage currently is dying to make the government as a communist which is significantly incorrect i strongly reject this point of making the government communist even though it is not.-- Toddy1 (talk) 16:36, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

@RashmikantT: In your edits you added new text and citations, and I have retained these, and fixed problems with citation templates such as URL errors, titles not as they were in the source, etc. I have also consolidated identical citations, and taken a citation used in the infobox for centrist and put it in the body of the article next to centrist.

Concerning whether the communists are corrupt, you changed "claiming" to "alleging". I have changed it to "and said that". He did say it; you were probably right to object to "claiming" as that expresses doubt. See MOS:CLAIM.

Your edits also deleted cited text, and you gave reasons in the edit summaries that I cannot see the relevance of. I have restored the cited text and improved the citation templates. Misplaced Pages is based on what reliable sources say. If you still object to these passages, please could you use the article talk page to explain your objections, rather than repeatedly reverting as you did the other day.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:12, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

@RashmikantT: In one of your edit summaries you wrote The section for elevation belong to controversy section not funding section kindly do not do disruptive work this for the sake of doing to make your name. I respectfully want to want about the consequences of your disruptive editing regarding the unbiased info. I again request you to rise about your ego and provide the unbiased information. Please read WP:CSECTION, which says that Misplaced Pages should avoid sections and articles focusing on criticisms or controversies.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:30, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

The passages currently deleted by RashmikantT are:

• There have been allegations of funding of the party by CIA and Ford foundation as people close to these organisations have gotten tickets to elections.
• Prakash Karat, the CPI(M) leader, said that there were some ideological similarities between the two parties, such as their agendas relating to social justice and decentralisation of power.
• The party supported Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) in the 2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election against the Bharatiya Janata Party.

An editor is again censoring the article. The sentences he/she keeps removing are marked with strikethrough below:

In early 2014, there was some media speculation that an alliance might form between the AAP and the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Prakash Karat, the CPI(M) leader, said that there were some ideological similarities between the two parties, such as their agendas relating to social justice and decentralisation of power. The AAP's Prashant Bhushan explicitly refuted any joining of forces, and said that there was corruption within the CPI(M).

The explanations given for the removals today are as follows:

• 08:01 (There is no mention of AAP joining CPM even not the "alleged part" anywhere in the source provided. If it is not present then the not joining by prashant Bhushan can't be justified or stated as well. Kindly provide the source if you have)
• 08:19 (1. The AAP's Prashant Bhushan explicitly refuted any joining of forces, and said that there was corruption within the CPI(M). and 2. In early 2014, there was some media speculation that an alliance might form between the AAP and the Communist Party of India (Marxist).: these news are nowhere to be found in the source which is provided as a reference when stating these statements. I respect teddy's interest in the page however I want to express my concerns as his editing don't have any base.)
• 12:39 (1. The AAP's Prashant Bhushan explicitly refuted any joining of forces, and said that there was corruption within the CPI(M). and 2. In early 2014, there was some media speculation that an alliance might form between the AAP and the Communist Party of India (Marxist).: these news are nowhere to be found in the source which is provided as a reference when stating these statements. I respect teddy's interest in the page however I want to express my concerns as his editing don't have any base.)

The cited article in The Hindu says: However, he did not answer the question the media has been posing on a possible alliance between the two parties. In fact, AAP leader Prashant Bhushan was quoted in a newspaper report as stating that the party would not tie up with the CPI(M) as corruption had seeped into its rank and file. This explicitly justifies both the sentences that the editor keeps removing.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:18, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

"The" at the start of the article

An editor keeps deleting the word "The" from the start of the lead. It is normal English the use the definite article (the) in these circumstances:

• Bharatiya Janata Party, starts The Bharatiya Janata Party
• Democratic Party (United States), starts The Democratic Party
• Social Democratic Party of Germany, starts The Social Democratic Party of Germany

Please can "The" be restored.-- Toddy1 (talk) 16:44, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

I am changing the start of the lead to use the same format as the start of the lead for Bharatiya Janata Party. i.e. it starts with a "The" (which is grammatical English) and has the abbr. BJP after the literal translation.-- Toddy1 (talk) 05:19, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Venkat TL (talk) 14:07, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

The flag of Aam Aadmi Party is missing

From the table the flag of the party is missing you should be put there RashmikantT (talk) 21:45, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

If you mean the infobox, it has their logo at the top, and the broom that forms their symbol is present in their logo at the top of the infobox and at the bottom of the infobox. We do not need it there a third time.-- Toddy1 (talk) 21:51, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

alignment is not as same as wing; hence should be removed from the state wing section

Bihar The party supported Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) in the 2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election against the Bharatiya Janata Party.

This piece should be removed as Alliance is not same as state wing. State wing means they have branches there of their own, Alliance have ever means temporary friendship so it does not count as state wing RashmikantT (talk) 12:55, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

This piece should be removed from ideology section

"In early 2014, there was some media speculation that an alliance might form between the AAP and the Communist Party of India (Marxist)"

It does not reflect the ideology of some party but merily some speculations only. that to not related with ideology however I want to express my deep concern about the Niche attempt to colour some organisation with some ideology. RashmikantT (talk) 13:07, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

@RashmikantT Please remove it. See WP:BOLD. Venkat TL (talk) 13:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

I cannot actually I tried in past however some individual always undo the work... RashmikantT (talk) 13:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Funding section needs improvement

"There have been allegations of funding of the party by CIA and Ford foundation as people close to these organisations have gotten tickets to elections"

This piece should be removed if there has been an allegation then put it in the controversy section maybe; not in the funding section. Also the source is hilarious: the source is actually the opposite party which is contesting this party in the elections.

PS. I tried to delete this piece however some individual always undo it RashmikantT (talk) 13:25, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
