WASHINGTON: Several Indian Americans have joined the campaigning for AAP candidates in the Lok Sabha elections fray in their own way — few travelling to India, others making calls to friends and families back home seeking votes and some signing as cyber warriors.

After its Delhi Assembly experiment, AAP U.S. has adopted nearly a dozen Lok Sabha constituencies where its volunteers would concentrate during the polls.

While the Texas unit of AAP has adopted the Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency where the party has given ticket to Rachna Dhingra; its Seattle chapter has adopted the constituencies of eminent social activist Medha Patkar (Mumbai North East) and Prashant Mishra (Bhandara-Gondiya, in Maharashtra).

Among others, AAP California has chosen Hoshangabad Lok Sabha constituency in Madhya Pradesh from where Maya Vishwakarma is contesting; the New Jersey unit has adopted the campaign of Purshottam Dagar (Faridabad).

AAP Global Student Supporter group, which represents university students, has chosen entire Madhya Pradesh; while AAP chapters of Boston, Washington DC and Singapore have joined hands to adopt the constituencies of Baba Hardeo Singh (Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh) and Radhe Mohan Mishra (Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh).
