Inspired by the Good Governance Model of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, many citizens of Gujarat are now joining the Aam Aadmi Party. Senior AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia welcomed Mahesh Savani to the Aam Aadmi Party and welcomed him with the party cap and stole, and congratulated him on his joining.

“The AAP is like a vacant plot in Gujarat, where a house of new and modern politics of the state can be built. To lay the foundation of this, we welcome Mahesh ji to the Aam Aadmi Party,” senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia said at a press conference in Surat.
“In Gujarat, the AAP is growing day and night at quadruple speed,” Sisodia said.

Sisodia also praised AAP councillors, who were elected through civic body elections in February.
“Now it is not only the work of Delhi, but the work of Gujarat has also started speaking… the work of the councillors has started speaking,” he said, adding, “Impressed by all that, Maheshbhai decided to join the AAP family.”
Sisodia said, “We can all see the change that Arvind Kejriwal ji has brought in Delhi in the last 5 years, the kind of development that Congress couldn’t bring in all the years they were elected in the capital. The way AAP has brought change in the last 5 years, neither BJP or Congress have been able to make that kind of progress in the last 25 years. I want the people of Gujarat to put their faith and trust in the work of the Aam Aadmi Party. We are changing the nation, bringing good governance and development for the people.“

Addressing Surat residents, Sisodia also said that the state hopes that these people of the AAP “will realise the dream of new and successful politics,” which the Congress and the BJP have been promising for over the years.
Speaking on the next year’s assembly elections, Sisodia said it “will be held between the party that is sitting in the middle of a power and a party that came out of the public.”
“Wherever you go on seeing Aam Aadmi Party, there you will go on forgetting the Congress and BJP, it is our claim,” he also asserted.
After making inroads in Surat civic body elections by winning 27 out of 120 seats, the AAP is planning to out the BJP in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state. In June, AAP national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that the party will contest all seats in the Gujarat assembly elections to be held next year. The Delhi-based AAP is taking small steps to achieve its national ambition. It has already announced its plan to contest in assembly elections of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
