New Delhi: Ahead of the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party's National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday took a dig at Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, saying that a maternal uncle had tricked "his nephews and nieces" and appealed to people not to trust 'mama'.
Kejriwal described himself as 'Chacha' (uncle) in an attempt to counter Shivraj's 'Mama' image in Madhya Pradesh. He appealed to people to have faith in 'Chacha' and promised that he will build schools, colleges, and hospitals and provide jobs for the youth of the state.
Addressing the gathering in Satna, Kejriwal stated: "I got to know there is a 'Mama' in Madhya Pradesh. He has cheated his nephews and nieces, do not trust him. Now your 'Chacha' has come, do not trust your 'Mama', show trust in your 'Chacha'. I will build schools, colleges & hospitals and provide jobs for the youth of Madhya Pradesh."
Kejriwal on Sunday announced poll guarantees for the poll-bound state, including free power, medical treatment and construction of quality schools besides a monthly allowance of Rs 3,000 to unemployed youths. He said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is the only political party that delivers its promises in the form of guarantees to the people.
Kejriwal said, "Today we are releasing 'Kejriwal ki Guarantee'...I guarantee to provide 24-hour electricity in the state. The people of the state have tried these two parties (Congress and BJP) for the last 75 years, but none of them provided electricity in the state. If you want power supply, vote for AAP and if you want power cut, vote for these two parties."
Hitting out at Congress and BJP, the Delhi CM stated that no party has ever delivered its promises to the people in 75 years, but Kejriwal guarantees that the promises made by AAP would be fulfilled. "Kejriwal will get his head chopped, but will fulfill all the promises," he stated.
