Amritsar, Chandigarh, May 16 (Harbans Singh)
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Thursday, reached Punjab to do the election campaign in Amritsar for the AAP candidate Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal. AAP supremo, along with Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, held a mega road show in Amritsar and appealed to the people of Punjab to make the Aam Aadmi Party win all the 13 seats of Punjab. Before the road show, both the chief ministers and the AAP candidate Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal paid obeisance at Golden Temple and Durgiana Mandir and prayed for the peace and prosperity of Punjab.
The AAP held a mega road in Amritsar where thousands of the AAP supporters waving flags of AAP and raising the slogans of ‘Inquilab Zindabad’ joined them. AAP National Convenor Shri Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, candidate Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal and AAP national general secretary Dr Sandeep Pathak waved back at the locals who came out to join the road show.
Arvind Kejriwal addressed the people of Amritsar and said that after coming out of jail, he immediately came to Punjab. During his jail meetings with CM Bhagwant Mann he used to ask about Punjab and its people the most. Your happiness is my utmost concern.
He continued, these people put me in jail. I am a small man, they put me in jail. I was wondering what my mistake was, why was I put in jail. Our party is small, we only have government in two states: Delhi and Punjab. What is my fault? My fault is that I arranged good education for your children, built good schools for your children, my fault is that I made the future of your children. My fault is giving free electricity to the people. My fault is that I opened Mohalla Clinics, made your medicines free, and made treatment free for all the people. When I went to Tihar, they did not give me diabetes medicine for 15 days. I am a sugar patient. For the last 20 years, I have been suffering from severe diabetes. For the last 10 years, I have been on insulin. I am given 52 units of insulin daily. When I went to Tihar, they stopped my insulin injection for 15 days. My sugar level reached above 300, sometimes 350. If a person’s sugar remains high for a long time, his liver and kidneys get damaged.
Hitting at the BJP, Arvind Kejriwal said that these people want to change the constitution. These people had very dangerous plans in their mind. They are repeatedly saying of crossing the 400 mark. These people were not telling why 400 seats were needed. When inquired, information came out that they would end the reservation. They need 400 seats to end reservation for OBC, SC and ST. Kejriwal further said that his freedom also depends on the votes of the people. He said that your vote will decide whether Kejriwal stays out of the jail or goes to the jail again. This is not just another election, this is an important election, you have to vote to save our country, constitution and democracy.
