Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann on Friday launched the AAP’s Lok Sabha elections campaign with the slogan “Sansad mein bhi Kejriwal, toh Dilli hogi aur khush haal”.
The AAP is a member of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) bloc, which has pitted itself against the BJP for the Lok Sabha polls that are likely in April-May.
Launching the campaign at the AAP’s headquarters in the national capital, Kejriwal lashed out at the BJP, the Centre and the Delhi Lt Governor for allegedly stalling the works of his government and appealed to the people to give their blessings by ensuring victory for all seven candidates of the AAP-Congress combine in Delhi.
The AAP is contesting from four of Delhi’s seven Lok Sabha seats, while the Congress will field candidates from three.
“I have made all efforts to serve the people of Delhi, who are my family, without considering myself as the chief minister,” Kejriwal, the AAP’s national convenor, said.
“Our slogan is ‘Sansad mein bhi Kejriwal, toh Dilli hogi aur khush haal (Delhi will be more prosperous with Kejriwal in Parliament)’,” Kejriwal said and asked the people to strengthen him by sending seven INDIA bloc MPs to the Lok Sabha to ensure no one dares to stall his government’s works.
Kejriwal alleged that the BJP-led Centre, through the Lt Governor, stalls every project launched by the AAP government.
“They hate you because you elected and brought an ordinary man to power in Delhi. They demolished Mohalla Clinics with bulldozers, they stopped door-to-door ration delivery, tests and medicines in hospitals,” he alleged.
