Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal has intensified his fight to hold fresh elections in Delhi at any cost. On Sunday, the former chief minister of Delhi held a rally at Jantar Mantar and demanded to dissolve the Delhi Assembly and call for fresh polls.
This is the first public gathering of AAP and Arvind Kejriwal post the Lok Sabha elections and a good number of people turned up to the rally. Kejriwal gave 35 minutes speech addressing the people. “The BJP government in the Centre is wantedly delaying the elections in Delhi. We demand to hold the elections now and are confident to win majority seats this time to form government. If the government delays, AAP will gain strength every day,” said Kejriwal. He also accused that BJP and Congress had to come to mutual understanding in Delhi and hence are not holding the elections. “They are scared and if elections are held, BJP and Congress will be wiped in Delhi,” added the AAP convenor
AAP has won 28 seats in last year elections which gave a major shock to the Congress party which has been ruling for the past 15 years. However, AAP stepped down from the government on February has the Jan Lokpal Bill got deferred in the Delhi Assembly.
