New Delhi: AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday urged the people of Punjab to give his party a chance to form an “honest” government and take the state on the path of development.
Campaigning on the last day of campaigning for the February 20 Assembly polls, the Delhi CM claimed the AAP’s rivals have joined hands to defeat it, but the people of Punjab have made up their minds to bring his party to power.
“They have been looting Punjab for the last 70 years and want to continue it. All of them have united to stop AAP because they are afraid that if the party forms government in Punjab it will put a stop to all such practices forever,” PTI quoted Kejriwal as saying.
He also appealed to the people to get together and put an end to their politics of loot and corruption.
Once AAP forms government in Punjab, the loot of resources will end and the state’s money will now be spent on the people, the Delhi Chief Minister said and told people to vote to save Punjab and for a better future for their children.
Kejriwal gave this statement while campaigning for party candidates in Jalalabad and Abohar.
Citing development works done by his party in Delhi, Kejriwal said that AAP aims to build good schools and hospitals, eliminate drug menace corruption and mafia, and provide education and employment.
Kejriwal is under fire over allegations made by Kumar Vishwas, one of the founders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Vishwas has claimed that Kejriwal was supportive of separatists in Punjab when he was in the party.
The BJP has attacked the Delhi CM over the issue while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has asked the AAP supremo to clarify whether levelled against him by former party colleague Kumar Vishwas is true.
