“Government-run schools are in a bad condition, health care is in shambles, farmers have been given less compensation for land acquired from them by government,” he alleged.
He also alleged that Gujarat government is purchasing solar power at Rs 15 per unit, while the price elsewhere is Rs 8 per unit.
“You are speaking white lies on the claims of development,” the AAP leader alleged.
He also raised questions on the issue of corrupt ministers in the Modi government.
“Why you have included Babu Bokhiria as a minister who has been convicted in a mining scam with three years sentence and at present is on bail now?” he asked.
“Whereas another minister Purshottam Solanki, who has been convicted in Rs 450 crore fisheries scam, is also a minister in your Cabinet,” Kejriwal said.
Meanwhile, a group of around 150-175 BJP members waved black flags and shouted anti-Kejriwal slogans at the spot where the former Delhi Chief Minister was waiting.
In Delhi, Congress today sought to make an issue of Narendra Modi not giving an appointment to Arvind Kejriwal by accusing the Gujarat Chief Minister of dishonouring the tradition of the state of welcoming guests.
“In our culture, guest is god. Kejriwal has been a guest of Gujarat and it is a tradition of the state that whoever is the chief minister, meets leaders and chief ministers from other states,” Congress spokesman Shaktisinh Gohil told reporters, disapproving of Modi's action.
He suggested that it was Modi's duty to meet Kejriwal despite the fact that he was now the former chief minister of Delhi. The AAP leader has been in Gujarat for the last two days “inspecting” development in the state.
“If Rahulji had been the chief minister, he would have met Kejriwal,” said Gohil, a known detractor of Modi, when asked whether the Congress Vice-President would have given an appointment to the AAP leader.
Gohil said BJP has become panicky over Kejriwal's visit as Modi is wondering from where the “new artiste” has suddenly cropped up raising all sorts of issues.
