Kejriwal kicks off AAP’s massive information campaign ahead of Delhi polls – The Week

Aam Aadmi Party national leader Arvind Kejriwal on Friday launched the party’s massive public information campaign in Delhi, months ahead of the assembly elections.

The campaign, titled ‘Revdi Par Charcha’, aims to reach people in the national capital through 65,000 meetings, where party workers will distribute pamphlets about the free facilities (‘revdis’) provided by the AAP government.

“Our workers will hold 65,000 meetings in Delhi to make people understand what these free facilities mean and how only AAP can provide them,” Kejriwal said.

The former chief minister mentioned that the Delhi government provides free electricity, water, healthcare, education, bus travel for women and pilgrimage for the elderly. “Another ‘revdi’ – a monthly assistance of Rs 1,000 for women in Delhi – will be started soon.”

Kejriwal took a swipe at the BJP, saying the saffron party has failed to provide free electricity and water in the states where they are in power.

“Three days ago, one of their leaders said, ‘Vote for us and we will do whatever Kejriwal does.’ If they want to reproduce our work, why not vote for the original instead of the duplicate?” he said.

Describing Delhi as a “half state”, Kejriwal noted that power is shared between the Delhi government, the Center and the Lieutenant Governor.

“Our half government has achieved so much in 10 years. What has their half government done? If they couldn’t deliver as half government, how can people trust them with full power?” he asked him next.

“All the BJP has done in the last decade has been to stop the development work of the AAP government,” the AAP chief further asserted.
