Chhattisgarh, 16 September: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann reached Chhattisgarh on Saturday. Both the leaders there addressed an election rally in Jagdalpur, Bastar.
While addressing the gathering, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann praised Arvind Kejriwal and said that because of Kejriwal, now other parties are also having to change their manifestos. They are also now giving special importance to education and health in their election promises.
Taking a dig at the opposition parties, Mann said that political parties looted Chhattisgarh's money. These people have looted the government exchequer and emptied it.
During the speech, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann attacked PM Narendra Modi and said that Narendra Modi only told jumle and lied to the people of the country. I even suspect that he doesn't even know how to make tea. He said that we do not tell 'jumle' like the BJP. We deliver what we guarantee. We have worked in Delhi and Punjab. In just one and a half years in Punjab, our government has given government jobs to more than 36,000 youth and regularised 28,000 temporary employees.
In Punjab, our government is giving 300 units of electricity free every month to every household. Now, there is electricity 24 × 7 and more than 90 percent of the houses get zero electricity bills.
We opened 700 Mohalla Clinics in just one and a half years for better treatment of the people of Punjab. Where people are getting free treatment, medicines and tests. Apart from this, we have opened 'Schools of Eminence' in Punjab where children are getting good education for free.
While addressing the people, AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal also launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that it is very sad that at the time when the country's soldiers were being martyred in Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in some celebration at the Delhi BJP office. Along with the Prime Minister, the country's Home Minister Amit Shah and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh were also present in this program. He asked why Prime Minister Modi does not feel sad over the martyrdom of our soldiers? Why didn't they postpone their event or say any words for the martyred soldiers?
Kejriwal said that ever since 28 parties of the country have formed the India Alliance to fight against the BJP, the BJP government have been trying to change the name of the country. But this country does not belong to anyone's father. It is a country of 140 crore people and India resides in everyone's heart. People love India.
