I "Promise" Schools In Every Gujarat Viilage, Says Arvind Kejriwal

Arvind Kejriwal, who along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is on a two-day visit to the state, was addressing a rally in Gandhidham town in Kutch district in Gujarat.

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said his party would build government-run schools in each village and get Narmada water to every corner of Kutch district if it came to power after the Gujarat Assembly polls likely to be held in December.

Mr Kejriwal, who along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is on a two-day visit to the state, was addressing a rally in Gandhidham town in Kutch district, some 400 kilometres from here.

"In Delhi, students of government-run schools belonging to poor families are securing admissions in medical and engineering courses. They will lift their families out of poverty after getting well-paying jobs. But in Gujarat, I have learnt the ruling BJP is shutting down government schools in Kutch," Mr Kejriwal claimed.

"I promise that AAP will build government schools in each and every village of Gujarat after coming to power. We will also bring Narmada water to every corner of the Kutch region. Just give one chance to AAP for the sake of your children's future," he said.
