If you want your child to become ‘chowkidar’, vote for Modi: Kejriwal

New Delhi, March 20

Taking a dig at the BJP’s ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ campaign, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said if people wanted their children to become watchmen, they should vote for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

And if they wanted good education, they should vote for the Aam Aadmi Party, he said.

Kejriwal, in a tweet in Hindi, said Modi wanted the whole country to try to become ‘chowkidar’ (watchman).

“If people want their children to become chowkidar, they should vote for Modi but if they want their child to get good education and become a doctor, engineer or lawyer, they should vote for AAP,” he said in his tweet in Hindi.

On Saturday, Modi had urged his supporters to take the ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ (I too am watchman) pledge, saying he is not alone in the fight against graft and social evils.

The BJP has since stepped up its ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ campaign with the prime minister and other party leaders, including its president Amit Shah, prefixing the word ‘chowkidar’ to their names in their Twitter profiles as they sought people’s support in the Lok Sabha election. PTI
