AAP to lead the country to fundamental change: Bhushan

Thiruvananthapuram: Terming the formation of Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi as “historic”, AAP leader Prashant Bhushan today said the party's mission is to bring about a complete transformation in the country to ensure democratic

Making a strong pitch for electoral and judicial reforms, he said in the existing system after casting votes the common man ceased to have any say in decision making or policy formulation and not more than two per cent of the people have access to justice.

“The most sinister impact of corruption is creation of a corporate mafia which has acquired the complete control of the power structure in the country,” he said.

An “honest” political movement like AAP, some of whose leaders could read the pulse of the people, to make further strides required the support and participation of right minded people all over the country, he said.

The award, instituted in memory of eminent lawyer and Left fellow traveller Pirappancode Sreedharan Nair, was presented to Bhushan by CPI(M) stalwart and Kerala Opposition Leader V S Achuthanandan.
