Will build schools, hospitals if voted to power: Arvind Kejriwal's Gujarat poll pitch
India Today
Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann are on a two-day visit to Gujarat, which goes to polls in December.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would build government-run schools in every village and get Narmada water to every corner of the Kutch district if it is voted to power in December, Arvind Kejriwal said. Kejriwal, along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, is on a two-day visit to the state.
“Last time I came to Gujarat, a man approached me saying that when he went to the BJP people for a job, he was thrown out. I want to say, these people don't want to do any job. Their leader's son will become chairmen and hold good posts. They abuse our children. And their sons become chairmen,” he said.
“In Delhi, students of government-run schools belonging to poor families are securing admissions to 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,” Kejriwal claimed, reported news agency PTI.

“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.
Kejriwal also said his party, if voted to power, will build a government-run hospital in each of the 33 districts in Gujarat to provide free and quality treatment to people.
“It has now been 27 years. Please remove them and press on the Jhadu symbol,” he added.
