The attack on AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal here seems to have turned a boon for the party, with people donating over Rs.65 lakh, double the amount it got in the past few days, in a day towards its poll fund. Many donated to protest against the incident.

According to the AAP’s donation cell, the party has to temporarily remove the live donation list and trends, as there was unprecedented traffic on the donation servers after the incident.

The last updated data showed over Rs.65 lakh by 826 donors from across the world. On Monday, the AAP had received only Rs.29 lakh from 1,158 donors. “Such incidents strengthen people’s faith in the party as more and more people donate for us, lending support to our principles. Our fight will continue whatever may happen,” said an AAP leader.
