New Delhi: AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Deputy Manish Sisodia on Monday vowed to make Gujarat a vibrant state if their party won the Assembly elections, with Sisodia insisting that he will never help the BJP break the AAP from within.
He said Manish Sisodia should get Bharat Ratna, Indias highest civilian award, for his contribution in developing the education system of Delhi.
I guarantee that within 10 days of our government in Gujarat, Rs 1 crore will be given to every family of the martyrs of the state, Kejriwal told a Town Hall meeting in poll-bound Gujarat.
We guarantee that well provide free and best health treatment to all Gujaratis. Like Mohalla Clinics, Health Clinics will be opened in cities and villages.
Well improve existing government hospitals and new government hospitals will be opened if needed, Kejriwal added.
The AAP leader credited Sisodia, who is also the Delhi Education Minister, with reforming government schools in the national capital which other parties could not do in 70 long years.
Such a person should get Bharat Ratna. The entire countrys education system should be handed over to him. Instead, they conducted CBI raids on him, Kejriwal thundered.
People of Gujarat are sad and bearing brunt of arrogance of the BJP regime of the last 27 years, he said.
Kejriwal referred to The New York Times praise of the Delhi governments education model, and added: We will help Gujarats students get quality education.
Manish Sisodia may be arrested. Who knows I may also be arrested. All this is being done for the sake of Gujarat elections, Kejriwal added.
Earlier in the day, Sisodia told the media that on the lines of Delhi and the way work is being done in the fields of education, health, inflation and electricity in Punjab, Gujarat too will vote for Kejriwal.
We will do better work within one term than what the BJP has done in the past 27 years, Sisodia addd.
In a major allegation, Sisodia tweeted in Hindi: BJPs message has come to me -- break AAP and join BJP, will get all CBI and ED cases closed.
My reply to BJP -- I am a Rajput, a descendant of Maharana Pratap. I will cut off my head but will not bow down in front of the corrupt-conspirators. All the cases against me are false. Do whatever you want to do.
