AAP GOES DOOR TO DOOR IN FINAL CAMPAIGN PUSH

NEWDELHI: With just 10 days to go for the February 8 Delhi Assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday launched its final campaign during which its leaders will hold 8,000 public meetings and reach out to 50 lakh families in a door-todoor drive.

Chief minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal held road shows in Shakurbasti, Rajendra Nagar and Moti Nagar constituencies on Wednesday. The party deployed around 20,000 volunteers at traffic intersections and metro stations to distribute Kejriwal’s guarantee card, and perform 3,000 street plays and flash mobs.

Over the next one week, the AAP chief will hold back-to-back road shows and meetings to cover all 70 assembly constituencies.

Talking about the policies and schemes of the AAP government in Delhi, Kejriwal reiterated that there was no dearth of money and that governments should have the “intent” to work for the people. “My experience shows that the country has been deliberately kept illiterate and poor in the last 70 years. There is no dearth of money. All that u need is the right intent,” Kejriwal tweeted.

The CM released a video message for women voters and urged them to vote for AAP.

“In these days of rising prices, I am ensuring you do not face any difficulty due to inflation. So long as I am there, free electricity, water, education, health and bus rides will continue...I am very concerned about your safety…. We are installing CCTV cameras across Delhi...I am getting street lights installed at every dark spot across the entire Delhi for your safety. We have made bus rides free for you. I sincerely hope that this is of a great help to you,” the AAP chief said in his latest video.

With nearly a week left for campaigning, the party has put up new hoarding, shifting its poll pitch from “Acche beete paanch saal, lage raho Kejriwal” to “Acche honge paanch saal, Dilli mein tau Kejriwal” (“Five years spent well, keep going Kejriwal” to “Next five years will be good, Delhi will have Kejriwal”).
