CHANDIGARH, Jan 28: Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said his party will contest all the 90 assembly seats in Haryana on its own, but the Lok Sabha polls will be fought as part of the INDIA bloc.
The Lok Sabha polls are due in April-May while the assembly elections are due in October.
“Today people only have trust in one party, which is the Aam Aadmi Party. On one side, they see Punjab, and on the other, our government in Delhi. Today Haryana is seeking a big change. In Delhi and Punjab, people made this big change earlier and now people there are happy,” he said at his party’s ‘Badlaav Jansabha’ in Haryana’s Jind.
The AAP will contest all the 90 assembly seats in Haryana on its own, but the Lok Sabha polls will be fought as part of the INDIA bloc, Kejriwal said.
“AAP will contest on all 90 seats and we will form the next government in Haryana and make it number 1 state in the country,” he said.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was also present at the event.
Kejriwal said Haryana is looking for a “big change” as the people of the state are “fed up” with all the parties that have ruled here.
They have tested all the other parties and these parties have only filled their own coffers, the AAP national convener alleged.
Only the AAP can provide round-the-clock power supply and other facilities to people like it has done in Delhi and Punjab, he said.
“Can the Congress, the BJP and the JJP do this? They cannot. Only the AAP can do this,” Kejriwal said.
Next elections will be to save Haryana: Hooda
Haryana’s Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Hooda on Sunday said the next elections in the state would not be about who forms the next government but to save Haryana.
He said when the Congress government “comes, we will make Haryana number one again”.
Addressing a protest rally organised in Machhrauli village of Badli constituency in Jhajjar, Hooda said Haryana, which was number one in per capita income, per capita investment, providing employment and better law and order, has reached number one in inflation, crime and unemployment.A large number of people were standing in the field since morning despite the severe cold. Hooda said there is already a massive wave in favour of the Congress in the state. (PTI)
