That time, they could not gather workers and they went away. It's a democratic country. People have the right to contest elections from anywhere they want but it's useless as they are uncountable in Bengal. What happened to Mamata Banerjee in Goa? Her competitors were Independent candidates. In Bengal, it will be the same for AAP."Through an official release on Monday, West Bengal's AAP said, "On 13 March, Aam Aadmi Party, Woman's Wing held a state conclave at Kolkata.

They both contested the Goa polls separately at a time when CM Banerjee was calling out to the opposition parties to unite against the BJP.Besides West Bengal, AAP will hit the ground in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat which will go to poll in November this year."As far as Himachal is concerned, it borders Punjab where AAP just swept the Assembly polls. The AAP is hopeful that the wave of Punjab will also reach Himachal Pradesh" said a source.The AAP registered a landslide victory in the Punjab polls winning 92 seats, pushing most of its rivals to the margins.
