Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal campaigned for the organization’s election in Goa by promising clean politics, free electricity up to 300 units per household, waiving pending bills, 24-hour uninterrupted power supply and free electricity for farmers. Started it. He launched a scathing attack on both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party, without naming anyone, for the politics of “Dal Badal” (party switch).

Kejriwal began by saying that Goa’s weather is better than Delhi’s, but state politics is a different story. “It feels good to be in Goa; It is very hot in Delhi. Goa’s weather is lovely; However, Goa’s politics has become very bad, very corrupt.” Kejriwal further elaborated how the Congress party, which had won 17 seats in the last Goa assembly election and ended up as the single largest party, now has There are just five seats, while the BJP, which won just 13 seats, is running the government with 28 seats.” Two years ago, on July 10, 10 Congress MLAs resigned to join the BJP. People had voted. For the Congress party to form the government, the mandate was for the Congress party, but the BJP formed the government. The party which had 13 MLAs now has 28 MLAs, and the party which had 17 MLAs has only five left, Kejriwal said.

On July 10, 2019, ten Congress MLAs, which had emerged as the single largest party with 17 seats, switched to the BJP, which was runner-up with 13 seats, helping the latter form the government in 40. Member Assembly. The BJP also garnered the support of Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), Goa Forward Party and independent candidates. The AAP had sent a cake last Saturday to mark the second anniversary of the crossing over of these turncoat MLAs, and launched its ‘Let’s Clean Goa Politics’ campaign.

“What’s happening?” The Delhi Chief Minister said, this is a question every Goa is asking. “Why hold elections, divide money among each other and form governments… now they have meaning.”

Kejriwal reiterated that the party, that is, the BJP, which had 13 MLAs and should have sat in the opposition, is now running the government with 28 seats, and the party, which is the Congress, which has 17 MLAs and has a public mandate. Now five are left to form the government. “It’s a hoax,” he said. “This is not correct.”

Emphasizing on the “betrayal” of the mandate, Kejriwal said, “In the last ten days since we started this campaign in Goa, I think we have touched a raw nerve, as people feel betrayed by both.” The parties and those MLAs do.” The Delhi Chief Minister claimed that thousands of Goans are responding to the ‘Let’s Clean Goa Politics’ campaign by registering online and communicating through missed calls, promising not to vote for parties or MLAs who have betrayed their trust. Have given.

Goa wants clean politics, Goa wants change. It doesn’t matter who you vote for, because the winner ends up with the BJP. People have decided that they want change. Earlier they had no choice; Now he has a choice in the form of you.”

If AAP forms the government, the Chief Minister of Delhi gave four guarantees to the people of the coastal state. As in Uttarakhand and Punjab, Kejriwal promised 300 units of free electricity to every household every month, waiving pending bills, 24-hour uninterrupted power supply and free electricity to farmers. He recalled a story about a legislator who pays people’s electricity bills that they put in post boxes and said that people would be free from such things. “The MLAs will no longer have to pay the electricity bills of the people as people will get ‘nil’ as the amount to be paid in their bills. This is happening in Delhi; 73% of the people in Delhi get zero electricity bill,” Kejriwal said, highlighting the ‘Delhi model’. 87% will start getting zero electricity. Bill.”

Kejriwal also said that the party will prepare an agenda for Goa based on the feedback of the people. Targeting women voters in particular, he said that women would be the happiest with these announcements.

The Chief Minister of Delhi took this opportunity to thank the local workers and supporters of AAP for reaching out to the people in the difficult times of the ongoing pandemic without a thought for their own good.

The AAP chief had met MGP’s Sudin Dhavalikar on Tuesday, prompting speculation about a possible alliance ahead of the 2022 assembly polls. However, both sides termed the important meeting as a “courtesy call”. Kejriwal also met local party leaders and had one-on-one meetings with some. Interestingly, the MGP also supported the BJP in government formation. However, later two of its three MLAs joined the BJP.

AAP’s national convener has already announced that the party will contest the 2022 assembly elections in Goa. This is your second election in the state. In 2017, the party had drawn a blank, despite a spirited campaign, Goodwill and popular faces like Elvis Gomes. In the Zilla Parishad elections, AAP opened its account by winning its lone seat of Benaulim, while the BJP won 32 of the total 49 seats in these elections. The Congress party was second with just four seats.

A day after his Uttarakhand visit and ahead of his Goa visit, the AAP supremo had tweeted, “Goa wants change. There are enough parties to buy and sell MLAs. Enough for dirty politics. Goa wants development. There is no dearth of money, only a lack of sincere intention. Goa wants honest politics. See you in Goa.”
