BJP doesn't want to give us time in Gujarat: Arvind Kejriwal on early polls buzz

Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday, while taking a jibe at the BJP, said that even if they hold early elections in Gujarat and do not give them enough time, AAP will get a clear majority in the state.

With the Gujarat assembly polls only months away, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday claimed that according to his sources, the Bharatiya Janata Party will dissolve the current Gujarat government and hold early elections as soon as possible.

Kejriwal claimed that this decision by BJP was taken only so that AAP does not get enough time to grow.

While addressing a rally at Adivasi Sankalp Mahasammelan in Gujarat’s Bharuch, Arvind Kejriwal said, “I have heard there will be early elections in Gujarat. Are you [BJP] afraid of Aam Aadmi Party? They don't want to give us time. They feel if we get time till December, we will get clear majority. But let me tell you, God is with us. You conduct elections now or after 6 months, AAP will win."

Several political pandits have also predicted that the Gujarat government may dissolve in a week or two and that the BJP might announce early elections.

Meanwhile, the sources in BJP have denied the claims, stating that nothing of this sort will happen.

On Saturday, after the top Gujarat BJP leadership met PM Modi in Delhi, Delhi CM Kejriwal took to Twitter to ask if the ruling BJP would dissolve the Assembly in Gujarat and announce early elections due to fear of the AAP.
