Anti corruption

Should "anti-corruption" in ideology be kept? The single focus of Anna Andolan was the Jan Lokpal Bill, which AAP, as of now, has yet to pass into law, despite it having a brute mjority in Delhi Legislative Assembly. The party has also not appointed a Lokayukta since Dec 2020. The single focus of the anti-corruption movements of 2011-12 were to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill, which AAP did not. If it did not pass the one single bill the anti-corruption movement was focused on, can we really call it anti-corruption? Now whether it passed the bill or not, it doesn't advocate against corruption more than other parties for it to be included in its wikipedia page and not other parties' Misplaced Pages page now as it did in 2013-15. It mainly talks about populism, freebies and infrastructure instead of corruption, as can be seen in its Gujarat and Himachal manifestos. I propose removing the anti-corruption part from ideology section. Open to other arguments. @Dhruv edits what is your take on this? Ok123l (talk) 05:36, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

@Ok123l I disagree. The party was born out of anti-corruption movement, which is still its main identity. Their website still states anti corruption at the top of their agenda. Plus lot of WP:RS have them as a anti-corruption party. Ideologies takes years to shift/change. Also, opening an anti corruption helpline was one of the first thing they did after winning Punjab polls 1. There isn't a clear shift from anti corruption ideology so it should not be removed.

Wrong section pasted

In the section "Gujarat", the manifesto that has been pasted is that of the BJP for the upcoming election, according to the article for the election itself, not the AAP's. Furthermore, they have also copy-pasted irrelevant sections of the article, including the manifesto of the Indian National Congress, incidents which occurred on the campaign trail involving all three parties, and polling for the 2022 Gujarat election.

Finally, I find it somewhat confusing as to why specifically the politics of Gujarat and elections in Gujarat are linked on the see also page. While the party will be contesting the elections in Gujarat, it is NOT a Gujarat-based party, nor was it launched in Gujarat, and at present has only one seat in Gujarat's legislative assembly. 49.204.89.166 (talk) 06:47, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

AAP is a leftist party

AAP is a socialist, secular, anti BJP party. So, it's a centre to centre-left party. Marxist Economist (talk) 14:43, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

No Aam Aadmi Party has centre right nature also. As it is also alleged to spread soft Hindutva agenda. https://thesecondangle.com/aam-aadmi-party-and-the-soft-hindutva-agenda/ https://thewire.in/politics/kejriwal-aap-communalism-divisive-policies-bjp-hindutva-secularism https://thediplomat.com/2022/06/aaps-dangerous-turn-toward-hindutva/ So it has right wing features also. XYZ 250706 (talk) 11:53, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

A Left party struggles for the toiling and downtrodden peoples of the society and is typically reserved for movements more critical of capitalism. But AAP generally lacks this feature. XYZ 250706 (talk) 11:57, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Aap is a opportunistic party which changes from centre left to centre right according to situation.so according to me it is a populism party. 103.241.225.8 (talk) 05:59, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
