Kejriwal promises better health, education infra
AAP national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal exhorted people of Haryana to bring a change for better infrastructure of health and education. He was assured to provide jobs. “Give me a chance, I will assure free electricity, quality healthcare in government hospitals similar to Delhi and Punjab,” said Kejriwal, while addressing a gathering in Assandh in the favour of party’s candidate Amandeep Singh Jundla.
He said Delhi’s government schools now attract even the affluent, while Haryana’s schools are in dilapidated.
Accompanied by state party president Sushil Gupta, Kejriwal accused the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of sending him to jail. “PM Modi hatched a conspiracy, levelled false accusations, made up a fake case and threw me in jail. I want to tell the PM that I am very small, and he is very big, very powerful and has lots of money and resources. Why does he not do more work than Arvind Kejriwal? I built 500 Mohalla Clinics in Delhi, PM should build 5,000 Mohalla Clinics across the country. But instead, he wants to arrest me and stop 500 Mohalla Clinics. That is wrong,” he said.
“I was in jail for five months, which was an ordeal. They tried many ways to break me, to break my spirit and my courage. They subjected me to various forms of torture, both mental and physical,” he said.
Kejriwal said, “I am a diabetic and I need insulin injections four times a day. For 15-20 days, they stopped my insulin injections and even my kidneys could have failed. I had to go to court to get an order for my insulin injections. I don’t know what their intention was.”
“I built 700 schools in Delhi, so the PM should build 70,000 or even 7 lakh schools. He has so much money and power. I arranged free pilgrimages for one lakh elderly. The PM can arrange pilgrimages for one crore elderly people. But he would rather arrest me and stop the work I am doing,” said the AAP national convener.
He promised five guarantees, including free and uninterrupted power, uplift of schools, free healthcare infrastructure, jobs to 12 lakh students. He also said that no government could be formed without AAP in Haryana.
