Technically, Aam Aadmi Party is yet to be sworn-in into office, but loyalties seem to be shifting rapidly into its favor as more and more people are queuing up on its doors to join Arvind Kejriwal and his team. The latest name we hear is Alka Lamba, a Congress politician.

Inspired by AAP's big feat and big drive, a young Delhi Congress politician and former president of the National Students Union of India ( the Congress party's student wing), Alka Lamba has expressed her desire to quit Congress and join Arvind Kejriwal's team. Alka, 38, had unsuccessfully contested assembly elections in 2003.

On Thursday, she met AAP leader Yogendra Yadav to "convey her desire to join" his party. She also said, "There are few in the party (the Congress) who are still taking decisions behind closed doors, whereas AAP asks people before taking decisions."

Ms Lamba had served the Congress in various departments for 20 years now, "but somewhere I thought something was missing." Lamba's name began trending on Twitter no sooner the news of her quitting Congress and joining AAP hit the web.

The Congress has, however, attempted to brush aside her move as a non-event, with partymen pointing out that she hasn't held a post in a long time. Congress leader Beni Prasad Verma even asked, "I have heard her name for the first time. Who is she?"

AAP is willing to welcome her in, but the decision on how best to utilize her will only be decided after a she has been engaged with the party for a few months.

Interestingly, number of people queuing up to join AAP has spiralled after its spectacular performance in the Delhi elections.

Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and his team of 6 cabinet ministers will be sworn-in as Delhi's new chief minister at noon on Saturday.
