New Delhi [India], December 9 (ANI): AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Avadh Ojha on Monday celebrated after the release of the second list of candidates of the AAP for the upcoming assembly elections in Delhi. Sisodia after being nominated from Jangpura said that the whole of Delhi has been so affectionate to him that he could fight from anywhere and that for him objective is important not money and position. 
"For us, objective is important not money and position. We stand with Kejriwal because he is working on education. He is working on changing the country's politics. All of us are his family members. I was given the responsibility of Patparganj, I fought there, and work was done all over Delhi. I have worked so much on education in Patparganj that the schools there have transformed a lot. Today I have been given the responsibility of Jangpura. When big educationist Ojha ji came to the party, he asked if he could get ticket from there. The whole of Delhi has given me so much love. I can fight from any seat," Sisodia told ANI.
