AAP is like Pulsar. Like it or hate it, but you cannot ignore it: Rajiv Bajaj

Comparing the current political scenario to two-wheelers, Rajiv Bajaj, managing director of Bajaj Auto, has termed the Aam Aadmi Party as the Pulsar, the BJP as the Hero Splendor (the fuel efficient motorbike) and the Congress as the Bajaj Chetak (the scooter was a bestseller in its prime days but was discontinued five years ago).

“To me the AAP is a bit like the Pulsar. It is clearly different, it creates a space of its own. You may like it, you may hate it, but you cannot ignore it,” he said in an interview to NDTV Profit.

Bajaj Pulsar is credited with leading the revival of Bajaj Auto because of its popularity with younger riders,

The industrialist has earlier also expressed his admiration for AAP when he admitted that he is a fan of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal. He, however, swatted speculation that he would join the party.
