Aam Aadmi Party raises over Rs 6 lakh through Twitter

In yet another unique fundraising initiative, this time through online crowdsourcing, the Aam Aadmi Party has managed to add more than Rs six lakh to its coffers. One seemingly innocuous tweet by a young AAP volunteer Nishant Beria to donate Rs 2 to the party every time hismessage was retweeted, kicked off the campaign, which was taken forward by about 400 people, including celebrities. "I will donate Rs 2 to AAP for every RT this tweet gets in next 24 hrs," Beria tweeted, and got 490 retweets, which prompted him to commit around Rs 1,000 to the party.
