The AAP rally in Rohtak on Sunday was a direct challenge to the dynasty of the Hoodas in Haryana.

If the number of people attending today's Aam Aadmi Party rally is an indicator, Congress should be worried.

The huge turnout indicates that the party has now spread its wings beyond the political scene in Delhi and will likely play Congress spoiler in both the upcoming Lok Sabha election, as well as the Haryana assembly elections, due in the month of October.

The AAP rally in Rohtak on Sunday was a direct challenge to the dynasty of the Hoodas in Haryana.

The high profile constituency, represented by Dipender Singh Hooda, the son of Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, is widely considered a citadel of both the Hooda family as well as the Congress. Dipender Hooda is a close aide of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and is also in charge of Rahul's strategy team.

"We are going all out after the Haryana CM. In Haryana the campaigning will be very similar to Delhi. The objective is to reach out to every single person and the agenda is to expose the Congress government, which is neck deep in all sorts of corruption," says one key member of the Party, responsible for operations in Haryana.

AAP leaders who spoke at the rally today kept attacking the Congress and BJP on various counts. While the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was targeted for his alleged relationship with business empires like Reliance or the Adanis, the Congress party was attacked on the issue of corruption.

"The Congress government in Haryana is marred with corruption and it has been looting the people of the state ever since it was elected to power," said key AAP leader Yogendra Yadav. The party sought to raise issues concerning farmers and former servicemen, both of which constitute a large part of the voter base in the state.

"The government is playing with the lives of thousands of jawans who are at the receiving end of the bullets at the front. The people of Haryana should not spare the politicians who have indulged themselves in corruption related to defence matters," said Arvind Kejriwal as the crowd of around 25 thousand people cheered.

"Such a large number of people turned up today, it was beyond expectation," said one of the members of AAP's Haryana unit.

According to the people who came to the rally, the results in Delhi have made a huge difference in their perception of the Aam Aadmi Party.

"They (AAP) have been trying to make inroads for a long time now. But its one month stint in the Delhi government has made people believe that the party is here to stay," says Sunil Bishnoi, a lawyer from Jhajjar, who was at the rally.

The Aaam Aadmi Party is not only campaigning against Congress but is also trying to portray itself as the only alternative, because the current crop of opposition leaders are 'useless'.

"The congress party is looting the people of Haryana while opposition Parties like NLD and Haryana Janta Party are very happy to play the role of convenient opposition because they know that they are also perpetrators of the same crime," Yadav said.
