You're Not Dealing With Congress Anymore, Arvind Kejriwal Tells BJP
NDTV
Arvind Kejriwal has been on an all-out campaign for the AAP in Gujarat to displace the BJP from the state that has been ruled by the party for 24 years.
The BJP is anxious about losing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state in the elections later this year, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday, claiming that people were "very angry" about the "rising hooliganism" demonstrated by a recent attack on an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader.
"Six crore people of Gujarat who learning about the attack on Manoj Sorathiya are very angry. They cracked his head in front of God. This is not the culture of our country. This is not Hindu culture. This is not the culture of Gujarat," the AAP chief said at a news conference in Rajkot.
"The people of Surat are very angry ever since the attack. We have done a survey in Surat and found that AAP is winning seven out of 12 seats," he said, announcing that he would be performing an 'aarti' this evening at the Ganesh pandal in Surat where Mr Sorathiya was attacked.
"This is the kind of attack you do when you're losing. The BJP is anxious about defeat. I want to tell them, that till now you were dealing with the Congress, but we are not Congress. We believe in Sardar Patel and Bhagat Singh. We are not afraid, we will fight," Mr Kejriwal said.
