Over eight lakh people have so far responded to an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) survey asking them choose a candidate from the party who could become its chief ministerial face for the February 14 Punjab assembly polls. The AAP launched the survey under its ‘Janta Chunegi Apna CM" drive.

"In merely 24 hours, more than eight lakh people have responded to the phone number released by the AAP for choosing the party's chief ministerial face in Punjab," AAP senior leader Harpal Singh Cheema, who is also the Leader of Opposition, said on Friday evening. Cheema said that during the last 24 hours, more than three lakh WhatsApp messages, more than four lakh phone calls, over 50,000 text messages and more than one lakh voice messages have been received on the number.
