"AAP's role is a welcome addition, Abraham said.”Before the Delhi (assembly) election, there was substantial contribution from American NRIs in terms of volunteers and financial contribution (to AAP).

But "as a party with a platform of anti-corruption, it must also become a responsible party to govern."

"Overall I think the rise of the AAP party has been received very positively given that governance or corruption has been one of the biggest concerns of the Indian American community," Puri said.

Also what has resonated with the Indian Americans, he said, was that AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal was an IIT- educated professional.

Many Indian Americans believe that more educated professionals need to participate in the political process in India.

Puri noted that some of the leading parties in India have an overseas presence and have very active members and supporters. Some of whom will be going to India to actively campaign.

Abraham calls the requirement of voting in person for NRIs "an injustice done to 10 million Indians who hold Indian passports who cannot exercise their right to vote".

He also suggested introduction of "electronic voting using a password" or alternatively allotment of two Lok Sabha seats for Overseas Indians.
