Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said that his government had done good work in the last five years but the tenure was not enough to complete the work that has been pending for the last 70 years. He asked voters supporting Opposition parties to vote for AAP so that work that the AAP government has started is not “undone”.
“To all those who voted for the Congress, BJP and other parties in Lok Sabha elections, take membership of whichever party you want but vote for the betterment of Delhi and the betterment of your family. Cast your vote so that the work we have started in schools and hospitals in the last five years is not stopped,” Mr. Kejriwal said. He added that if any other party comes to power, the work done will not continue.
“Who will take care of the education of your children. Who will help you get good and affordable healthcare if you vote in favour of any other party? Just give it a thought,” he said.
Mr. Kejriwal was addressing his first roadshow in Badli constituency in support of AAP candidate Ajesh Yadav. Mr. Kejriwal had filed his nomination from the New Delhi Assembly constituency on Tuesday after conducting a roadshow the previous day at Connaught Place and the party had announced that apart from his own constituency, Mr. Kejriwal would be holding rallies in all 70 constituencies as well as a number of town halls.
Calling Delhiites his family, Mr. Kejriwal said that he had worked like the elder son in a family to ensure that everybody is happy.
“It is the elder son who shoulders most of the responsibilities, takes care of everyone, gets the sister married, manages all expenses etc. I have tried to do just that and make life easier for people, ” he said
Mr. Kejriwal then continued to Adarsh Nagar and was joined by MLA candidate Pawan Kumar.
