Kejriwal also raked up the gas pricing issue.
“Modi should make his point clear on the issue of gas pricing,” he said, adding, “Gujarat government has demanded that gas pricing should be USD 16. Earlier, UPA government had given a go ahead to raise price of gas from USD 4 to USD 8”.
“People say that you have such close relations with Mukesh Ambani that you have made Ambani family's son-in-law a minister,” Kejriwal alleged.
“You made Saurabh Patel a minister. By giving him portfolios like gas, petroleum, energy and minerals, in a way you allocated Gujarat's natural resources to Ambanis,” Kejriwal alleged.
The AAP leader also claimed that there was a high rate of unemployment in Gujarat.
“Recently, 13 lakh people applied for 1,500 posts of talati (accountant). This clearly shows that Gujarat has a high rate of unemployment,” said Kejriwal.
On the issue of contractual job system in state-run units, the former Delhi chief minister held Modi responsible for exploitation of youths.
“Educated youths have been given adhoc jobs on a meagre salary of Rs 5,300 per month. Who will be able to run his family in Rs 5,300 per month?” he asked.
It is the government's responsibility to give good education to poor. We have been in the villages to verify the educational facilities in rural area, said Kejriwal.
