Hisar, January 28

AAP national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has announced that the party will contest all 90 seats of Haryana in the upcoming Assembly elections.

Addressing a rally in Jind today, he said while they would abide by the decision of the INDIA bloc in terms of seat sharing in the Lok Sabha poll in Haryana, the party would go it alone in the next Assembly poll scheduled later this year in the state. “While people of Delhi and Punjab have voted for the AAP, it is the turn of the electorate in Haryana to form an AAP government,” he said.

“I want the reform drive to be carried out in Haryana, which is my native state,” he said, adding that he was pained to see the deterioration in terms of healthcare and education and prevalent unemployment.

“CM Khattar is sending youth to war-torn Israel to earn a living as there are no employment opportunities in Haryana,” he claimed. The Delhi CM stated that they had ended the supremacy of education mafia and ensured healthcare facilities and medicines free of cost to the residents of Delhi. “We have not committed any corruption, but our measures against ending the mafia system have irked those in power, and they want to send me to jail. But I am a Haryanavi and not afraid of anybody,” he said.

Kejriwal promised that the AAP would provide round-the-clock power free of cost if the party came to power in the state.

Haryana ready for change: Mann

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann claimed that the huge turnout of people at the rally, despite the cold, was proof that the people of Haryana were ready for a change. Calling Kejriwal ‘son of Haryana’, Mann said Kejriwal had joined politics to end corruption.
