AAP will bring ‘badlav’: Sunita Kejriwal

Faridabad, August 4
Sunita Kejriwal, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Sunday said the AAP guarantees held the promise of ushering in the real change in the state.
Speaking at her first public meeting here under the banner of Badlav Rally, she said: “One should not fall for the false promises or petty gifts, such as sarees or bedsheets, offered by political parties if the real change is desired. People should opt for the change that could improve their standard of life on a long-term basis.”
Highlighting the five main guarantees of AAP, Sunita said the party would provide free power and water supply to domestic consumers, start the mohalla clinics and upgrade the government hospitals to provide best education and health facilities, besides providing employment to youths and payment of Rs 1,000 a month to every woman aged above 18 as financial help.
Mentioning “AAP ke bete” (referring to Arvind Kejriwal as the son of Haryana) several times in her speech, she said there had been many plans in store aimed at benefiting all sections of society. Claiming that AAP had already done and had been working on fulfilment of all guarantees in the states of Delhi and Punjab, she said now it was the turn of Haryana that needed to be freed from the clutches of power-hungry parties.
“Besides the round-the-clock power supply, which has not been made possible till now, free medical treatment will be provided in the government hospitals and clinics. ‘Aap ke Bete ne Delhi aur Punjab ko badla, ab Haryana ko badlenge’ (your son has changed Delhi and Punjab, now it is Haryana’s turn),” she remarked.
Referring to the allegations of corruption against her husband, Sunita said if Arvind Kejriwal was corrupt then no one in the country was honest. Charging political vendetta, she said her husband had been arrested and jailed because he had been getting popular in view of the success of the policies and programmes of AAP in Delhi and Punjab. She asked people not to give a single vote to the BJP in the state. She however did not name the Congress in her address. Abhash Chandela, Pravesh Mehta, Rajender Sharma and Harender Bhati were among the local leaders present on the occasion.
