CM appeals to vote for party working for people
Delhi state election commission sets up 68 model polling stations; 68 pink booths with all-female staff
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday cast his vote in the MCD polls and appealed to the public to vote for a party that works for people rather than creating hurdles.
Mr Kejriwal visited the polling booth in Civil Lines here along with his parents, wife, and children. He exited the booth holding the hands of his parents.
“People should vote for the party that’s honest and works. For those who focus on cleanliness of the city and not those who keep creating hurdles,” he told reporters after casting his vote.
Earlier in the day, the AAP convener urged people in the city to exercise their franchise for setting up an honest and performing establishment in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
“Today we’re voting to make a neat and clean and beautiful Delhi, we’re voting to form a corruption free government (establishment) at the municipal corporation. I appeal to all the Delhi citizens to cast their vote to form an honest and performing government at the MCD,” Mr Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi.
In another tweet, he asked people to vote for an honest party and decent people.
“Do not vote for those who indulge in corruption, hooliganism, and abuse. Do not vote for those who turned Delhi into garbage. Vote for those who will make Delhi neat, clean, and shining,” he said.
Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia also asked people to vote for work, not for people who are responsible for making Delhi a dumping yard.
“I appeal to the 2.5 crore people of Delhi to step out of their houses and vote today so that we can work for you. People have made up their minds to elect the Aam Aadmi Party in the municipal corporation,” Mr Sisodia told reporters at his residence.
Over 1.45 crore electors are eligible to exercise their franchise in the elections to the 250 wards of the MCD, in which 1,349 candidates are in the fray.
