Expressing her gratitude, Atishi took to X (formerly Twitter), stating, "I am truly overwhelmed by the incredible response to my crowdfunding campaign on Day 1.

Highlighting AAP’s approach, Atishi said, "People donated money to support Aam Aadmi Party's honest politics. We don't take money from big businessmen for elections. AAP government works for the common people."
The Delhi CM also appealed for continued public support, emphasizing how crucial donations are to her political journey. "As a young, educated woman, your belief and donations have enabled me to imagine a career in politics—a path I couldn't have walked alone. Now, as we face another election campaign, I need your support once again," she wrote.
Atishi is contesting against BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri in Kalkaji as part of the 70-member Delhi Assembly elections. Results are expected to be declared on February 8.
