Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday released the 'Kejriwal ki Guarantee' card in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh and urged people to give one chance to his party the upcoming Assembly elections to bring change in the state.
Speaking at AAP's town hall programme in Satna, Madhya Pradesh, Kejriwal said that Aam Aadmi Party is a party of honest and patriotic people. "We are not politicians, we are here to build the nation. I request you to give us one chance, and I promise you will forget BJP and Congress," he said.
Taking a dig at Congress and BJP, the Delhi CM said that in 75 years, there hasn't been any party that has fulfilled the promises it made to the people but Kejriwal's guarantee is that those will be fulfilled. "Kejriwal has come to provide a guarantee. The meaning of Kejriwal's guarantee is that those will be fulfilled, otherwise, Kejriwal will get his head chopped," he said.
'Don't trust mama'
In a direct attack on Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Kejriwal said that a maternal uncle (Mama) has deceived the people of the state and said people not to trust 'mama'. "In Madhya Pradesh, there is a maternal uncle (Mama) who has betrayed his nieces and nephews significantly. It is advised not to have faith in this uncle. Now, your brother, son, and uncle have come. We will arrange schools, hospitals, and employment for your children. We have done it in Delhi, we have done it in Punjab, and we will do it in Madhya Pradesh as well if you give us the chance," said the AAP national convenor.
He further said that the AAP is the only party across the country that can offer quality education and employment prospects for your children, thereby securing your family's future. "No other party comes forward before elections and asks you that vote for us and we promise to build schools for your children and secure a better future for them," he added.
Releasing the guarantee card, the Delhi CM promised to provide 24-hour electricity in the state and all electricity bills will be waived. "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," he said.
