Addressing a gathering after the roadshow in Surat, Singh presented a 10-point “guarantee card” which promised reduction in housing tax, waiving personal tax, free rides for students on government city buses, free 24-hour water supply, etc if AAP came to power in the Surat Municipal Corporation.
Singh said AAP will replicate its “Delhi model” in Gujarat, which promises better government school education and health care facilities and zero corruption, and urged people to vote out the BJP from the civic body.
In Rajkot, Sisodia said people were looking at the AAP with hope as BJP had failed them, and those who got elected on Congress tickets were joining the saffron party.
He claimed the AAP was getting all-round support from the people.
