KEJRIWAL: GUJARAT HEADED FOR ‘CYCLONE OF CHANGE’
Reiterating his party’s poll promises of providing one million government jobs to the youth and 300 units of free electricity each month, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said there was a “cyclone of change” headed towards the state.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Saurashtra’s Amreli town, Kejriwal highlighted the work of the government headed by him in Delhi in the field of education.
“We will provide a million government jobs to the youth and till your family members don’t get employed, we will give ₹3,000 as unemployment allowance. Gujarat too will get splendid education, free of charge for your children...,” Kejriwal said.
AAP is contesting on all 182 assembly seats in the state where voting is scheduled to be held in two phases on December 1 and 5.
“The AAP is going among the people, raising public issues... The people are fed up with the constant price rise, I will wipe out that burden,” he said. Reiterating his promise of free power, he said: “After the formation of our government, I will be paying your electricity bills...” Referring to the 27-year BJP rule in the state, he said, “You have given them 27 years, now please just give us 5 years...”BJP spokesperson Yamal Vyas hit back at Kejriwal, saying: “I think that the people of Gujarat are the best judge. In election time, every political party has their own views, but I think that the people of Gujarat are mature enough and we are sure that they will once again vote the BJP to power.”
