Kejriwal Courts Gujarat Local Voters With Anti-Corruption Push and Punjab-Model Promises

The party is trying to break into a BJP stronghold with elections yet to be scheduled.

Overview

  • Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann are touring Gujarat for three days with rallies in Amreli and Lalpur in the Saurashtra region.
  • Kejriwal told voters AAP would start a fight against graft from the village and city level if it wins panchayat, municipal and corporation seats.
  • He accused the BJP and the Congress of working together to loot Gujarat, a charge delivered at campaign events and not independently verified in these reports.
  • He pointed to AAP’s rule in Punjab and said Gujarat could get Rs 1,000 a month for every woman, Rs 10 lakh family insurance, and free household electricity.
  • Poll dates for the local bodies are not announced, which matters because these councils often serve as a first step for parties building a statewide base.
