CM launches door-to-door campaign for 2019 LS polls
NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal along with other Cabinet ministers and AAP leaders launched door-to-door campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. “Delhi needs seven MPS who will strengthen the Delhi government. AAP national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday
led the party's door-to-door campaign for 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Delhi, to seek the cooperation and financial support from the people of Delhi,” noted a statement from the party.
It added that Kejriwal
launched the four-month campaign in the New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency by himself leading the party's teams to the houses of voters and seeking their support for the party. Other ministers, MPS, and MLAS led the campaign
in their respective constituencies. “We are launching the door-to-door campaign in Delhi from today. For the next
four months, our three thousand teams will knock on every door to seek their cooperation and financial support for their own Aam Aadmi Party. People of Delhi are very happy with the work of Delhi government, particularly in the fields of Education, Health, Electricity, and Water,” said the Chief Minister.
He added that the key element of the door-to-door campaign will be to convince the people of Delhi that they should support and vote for the AAP even in the Lok Sabha elections. “We will tell the people that don't be misled by the false narrative of who will be the Prime Minister and keep the 2014 experience in mind. You elected BJP MPS on all seven seats and what did you get in return? Did these seven MPS do anything? Is there a single work done by them that you can recall ?” CM Kejriwal asked. He said that the only thing these seven MPS did during their tenure was to obstruct the pro-people steps being taken by the Delhi government. “What these seven MPS did was to create hurdles in the installation of CCTVS and setting-up of Mohalla Clinics through their central government appointed LG,” the Chief Minister said. What Delhi requires today is that it should elect all the seven MPS who will support and strengthen your elected government so that it can work with a greater speed for the people of Delhi, Kejriwal said.
“It does not matter who will become the Prime Minister and this time nobody knows who will be the next Prime Minister, everybody seems to be nervous. Elect all seven MPS of ours and we will get the works of Delhi done from the next Prime Minister,” he said.
Issues like the Delhi Metro fare hike, alleged “failures” of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPS and the ongoing sealing drive in the city are also likely to be raised during the campaign.
