Kejriwal will be on a two-day Gujarat tour from Sunday; Town Hall to hold meeting on ‘Free Electricity’

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal will be on a two-day visit to Gujarat from Sunday, during which he will hold a town hall meeting on “free electricity” and administer oath to the newly appointed office bearers of the party. A party leader said here. He said on Saturday that during his two-day stay in Ahmedabad, the Delhi Chief Minister would hold meetings with senior AAP leaders and interact with party members. The Kejriwal-led party is preparing to contest elections to the 182-member assembly in BJP-ruled Gujarat to be held by the end of this year. Kejriwal will reach Ahmedabad airport at 3 pm on Sunday. He will administer the oath to 7,500 newly appointed office bearers in a ceremony at 4 pm. He will take a pledge to work wholeheartedly for the party and encourage the workers for the upcoming assembly elections.

He said these office bearers were appointed after AAP disbanded its state organization structure early last month. “For the people suffering from inflation, our party has started ‘Free Bijli’ campaign. If the people of Delhi and Punjab can get free electricity, then why can’t the people of Gujarat?” He asked. He said Kejriwal will organize a town hall on “free electricity” on Monday, nearly two weeks after the party launched a state-wide agitation demanding free electricity for domestic consumers from the BJP government.

Gadhvi said the party’s ‘guarantee card’ or election manifesto for the Gujarat assembly elections to be held in December will also be discussed. The AAP functionary accused the ruling party of misleading people by saying that the citizens of Gujarat do not need free electricity, as he cited a statement by state BJP president CR Patil. “I want to appeal to those leaders who do not need free electricity, put a board outside their house so that more and more poor people can get free electricity,” he said. AAP leaders in Gujarat believe that the party’s ‘free electricity’ campaign will play a key role in the assembly polls as they said lakhs of people across the state have supported it. Party leaders and workers organized padyatras, torches and cycle yatras in different parts of the state and sought their support from the people for the campaign. The party has promised free electricity to the people if voted to power.
