Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal while speaking to a group of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes members in South Goa, Kejriwal said, "It would look odd but it is true that despite a one-and-half year of governance in Delhi, AAP does not have money to fight election. I can show you my bank account, even the party does not have money." "When we contested in Delhi, it is the people who fought the election. AAP is a platform for everyone to fight for their better future," Mr Kejriwal said, explaining that in Goa too, his party would bank on the support of local people. However, contrary to Kejriwal's claims, facts speak otherwise. Going by the Election Commission, the AAP is the fourth largest political party in the country in terms of receiving contributions. In the financial year 2014-15, it received contributions worth Rs 37.45 crore.

Only three parties - and all of them national ones -had received larger contributions than the AAP. The BJP, with 437.35 crore is at the top, followed by the Congress (Rs 141.55 crore) and the NCP (Rs 38.82 crore). This is third visit of Mr. Kejriwal to poll-bound Goa. His first visit was in May last when he addressed a huge rally in the city here wherein he announced that the party would contest the next Assembly elections in the State. During his second visit in June, he held dialogue with fishermen, small hotel owners and youth and claimed that the party would win 35 of the 40 seats in Goa.
