Throw away ‘arrogant BJP,’ give chance to AAP in Gujarat to form corruption-free govt: Kejriwal
Swaminarayan Sampraday and other sects in Hinduism and temples enjoy huge followings in Gujarat.
On Saturday, the CMs of Delhi and Punjab, both ruled by AAP, began their Ahmedabad visit by visiting the Gandhi Ashram and paying tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. Later in the day, they held a roadshow in the Nikol and Bapunagar localities with a large turnout of AAP members and supporters.
After the roadshow, Kejriwal had appealed to the people of Gujarat to give the AAP a chance and accused the ruling BJP of becoming arrogant.
With Congress in disarray, the AAP, buoyed by its spectacular performance in Punjab in recent elections, is aiming to project itself as the only alternative to the ruling BJP in the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
