Arvind Kejriwal said that his personal choice regarding the Chief Ministerial face is not important, public choice is important.
Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Admi Party (AAP) National Convener Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced that people can message and call on the number 70748 70748 to send their suggestions on who should be the Chief Ministerial candidate from AAP for the upcoming Punjab Assembly polls by January 17 till 5 pm.
He added that his personal choice regarding the Chief Ministerial face is not important, public choice is important.
"This is happening in India, probably for the first time after 1947, a party is asking the public to tell us who should be the CM face. By calling, or through Whatsapp messaging on the number 70748 70748, you can give your suggestions by 5 pm on January 17. Based on the suggestions, we will choose our CM candidate. My personal choice is not important, public choice is important," he said in a press conference in Chandigarh.
"Bhagwant Mann is very dear to me, he is like my younger brother, I was also sitting in the room saying that we should make Bhagwant Mann the Chief Ministerial candidate, but he said that no, we should ask people. This ritual of deciding the Chief Ministerial candidate in closed doors should be stopped," Mr Kejriwal said in a press conference in Chandigarh.
