Early Polls In Gujarat, Himachal? Kejriwal Says He Has ‘Heard’ So But AAP Is Ready And Will ‘Replicate Delhi Model’ In The States

Addressing a rally in Kangra town near Dharamsala, Kejriwal said, "I have heard that they (BJP) will hold early Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat."

New Delhi: Anticipating early assembly elections, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed on Saturday that the BJP will organise early elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat and that if elected, his party will replicate the Delhi style of administration in the state, news agency IANS reported.

Addressing a rally in Kangra town near Dharamsala, Kejriwal said, "I have heard that they (BJP) will hold early Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat."

"The BJP is scared of the Aam Aadmi Party in Himachal and Gujarat. Actually, they are scared of the public, not the AAP. The BJP has decided to hold early elections in Himachal and Gujarat. It does not matter whenever BJP conducts elections, power should come in the hands of the common man," he said.

Elections are due before the end of the year in both states.

Good leaders in the ruling BJP and the Congress, according to Kejriwal, should resign their parties and join AAP. 

"It is time to make 'naya' (new) Himachal Pradesh. I urge all the good people in BJP and Congress to leave their parties and join AAP. I request the people of this state to give AAP a chance," he said.

Kejriwal described Himachal Pradesh as the most beautiful place on the planet, saying: "Both the Congress and the BJP looted the god gifted beautiful land. The Congress-ruled for 30 years and the BJP for 17 years. Both parties are now abusing me."

In a rally, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that BJP chief Jagat Prakash Nadda had insulted him.

"Jai Ram Thakur said there is a two-party system in the state. I ask what is the third alternative. They are saying the situation in Himachal is different, but I say your intentions are wrong," he said.

Regarding the citizen-centric models in Delhi, Kejriwal stated that private schools have been prohibited from raising fees for the past four years, and that treatment is provided to all people.
