‘It is BJP not AAP that is Delhi-centric party,’ he says
A day after making his candidates sign legal affidavits pledging not to ‘betray’ the Goan electorate, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal exhorted the supporters and voters of other political parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress, to vote for the AAP in the upcoming Assembly polls for the sake of future of the coastal State.
Mr. Kejriwal, who is on a four-day tour, refuted the BJP’s claims that the AAP is a ‘Delhi-based’ party, stressing that the AAP in Goa was run by Goans and not by anyone in Delhi.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight.
