Amidst AAP’s allegation of BJP’s poaching bid in Delhi to stall the former’s aggressive campaigning in Gujarat, BJP Gujarat chief C R Paatil on Friday said “a person visiting the state nowadays” was offering pre-poll promises that were like “Chinese products”, which one would regret buying.

The AAP has been making a concerted effort to widen its support base and take on the ruling BJP in Gujarat, where Assembly polls are scheduled by the year-end, and Kejriwal, as well as other party leaders, have been visiting the state regularly and giving “guarantees” to people, ranging from power bill relief to allowances to women and the unemployed.

Attacking Kejriwal further without naming him, Paatil said, “That person is trying to lure Gujarat’s youth by promising them 10 lakh government jobs. How is this feasible when the total number of government posts at present is only 5.5 lakhs. He even promises to double that number in the next five years, but does not disclose how he will do that.”

The BJP believes in the overall development and that is why Gujarat is the number one state in the country in terms of providing employment, Paatil claimed.
Asserting that the people of Gujarat extend their hand to give something and not to beg, Paatil said these people, referring to the AAP, should stop fooling the state’s residents with “hollow promises”.
