A look at the Aam Aurat(s) in the victorious Aam Aadmi Party

The Aam Aadmi Party has taken Delhi by the storm. Even with the final results not having been declared, it is clear that the party will serve the capital for the next five years (hopefully). AAP has always taken a stand on working towards women’s safety and was represented by six women candidates from Delhi. Let’s take a look at each of these women, who will lead the way for a better and safer future for the women in Delhi.

She is an avid supporter of women’s causes and has been actively involved in working for children’s education and early marriage, helping young girls build a better future for themselves.

A former BJP councilor, before joining AAP, Gaur was previously involved in two scandals involving her educational qualifications and illegal construction and wrongful occupation of her house. Both of these failed to bring Gaur down and she stood up from ‘Palam’ constituency. Her success can be measured by the fact that a constituency that supported BJP’s Dharam Dev Solanki for 4 tenures, is showing immense support for Gaur.
