In the run up to the Haryana assembly election, Delhi’s former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia appealed to the electorate to give the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) a chance if they wanted good government schools, excellent healthcare facilities and zero electricity bill like in Delhi and Punjab. “Give a chance to your son Arvind Kejriwal in the elections. He has shown it in Delhi, he has shown it in Punjab, he will show it in Haryana too,” said Manish Sisodia during a roadshow at Ganaur in Sonipat district on Wednesday.
Reiterating the five guarantees of Arvind Kejriwal for the people of Haryana at the Badlav Jansabha (Public meeting for change) at Samalkha Assembly constituency in neighboring Panipat district the same evening, Manish Sisodia said if elected to power, the AAP government in Haryana will give an honorarium of Rs 1000 per month to each woman in the state besides good education, excellent medical facilities, zero electricity bill and jobs to youth.
Flanked by Haryana AAP president Dr Sushil Gupta and Haryana AAP senior vice president Anurag Dhanda, Manish Sisodia held a roadshow in Ganaur assembly constituency. Manish Sisodia was showered with flowers at several places during the roadshow. The leaders could be seen reciprocating the greetings by waving and folding hands to the people assembled along the route of the roadshow. AAP workers and supporters could be seen waving party flags in the roadshow.
Manish Sisodia also addressed a Badlav Jansabha (Public meeting for change) at Samalkha Assembly constituency in neighboring Panipat district.
Addressing the people assembled during the roadshow in Ganaur assembly constituency, Manish Sisodia said I have come here to request you that this election is not about electing a leader, or a political party but for your children’s education. “This election is how your schools, hospitals for you and your family members, employment and the safety of women are going to be in the next 5 years,” he said.
Manish Sisodia said Arvind Kejriwal is the son of Haryana, he was born in Haryana. He came out of a small village and became the Chief Minister of Delhi. The people of Delhi gave a chance to the son of Haryana. He did wonders in Delhi. All the political parties used to say that government schools cannot be made better. But Arvind Kejriwal has shown that it is possible by making government schools better than private schools. “Today people are taking their children out of private schools and getting them educated in government schools of Delhi,” he said.
The former deputy chief minister of Delhi said when the people of Delhi gave Arvind Kejriwal a chance, the government hospitals there became excellent, Mohalla clinics were built, lakhs of households there are getting zero electricity bills and Delhi has the lowest inflation in the country.
Manish Sisodia said the people of Punjab gave Arvind Kejriwal a chance, Bhagwant Mann was made the Chief Minister there. So there too, lakhs of people are getting zero electricity bills, excellent government hospitals, Mohalla clinics are being built. There too, government schools are becoming excellent, and the fees of private schools are not being allowed to increase.
The senior AAP leader said I have come to request you that this time in the elections, give a chance to your children’s schools, good hospitals for yourself and your family members; this time, give a chance for cheap electricity and zero electricity bills and for jobs. “Give a chance to your son Arvind Kejriwal in the elections. He has shown it in Delhi, he has shown it in Punjab, he will show it in Haryana too, how government schools can be excellent for every child of Haryana and how the fees of private schools can be stopped from increasing. How excellent Mohalla clinics can be built, how government hospitals can be made superb, how electricity bills can be zero in Haryana too, how the youth can get jobs and how the check on inflation that was done in Delhi could be made possible in Haryana as well. Arvind Kejriwal will show it all,” he said.
Manish Sisodia said I have come amongst you all with Kejriwal ji’s 5 guarantees. My request to my shopkeeper brothers, brothers and sisters who have come to the market, is that this time give Kejriwal ji a chance by pressing the button on the broom. “He has shown it in Delhi and Punjab; we will show it in Haryana too if we get a chance,” he said.
Speaking during the roadshow, AAP’s Haryana state president Dr Sushil Gupta said the aim of the Aam Aadmi Party is to educate and develop India. The Aam Aadmi Party has made the government schools of Delhi the best in the world. The wife of the President of America also came to see the government schools of Delhi and praised them in America that if you want to change the level of education, then learn from Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia. “This dictator Prime Minister Modi put Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in jail to stop the Aam Aadmi Party. Today Manish Sisodia has come among you out of incarceration, Arvind Kejriwal will also come out very soon.
Addressing the Badlav Jansabha at Samalakha, Manish Sisodia said when the BJP people come to ask for votes, ask them what work they have done in all these years. And why did they not fulfill their guarantees for other states? The BJP has not done any work in 10 years, so it will not be able to give any guarantee. You have faith in Arvind Kejriwal. He has guaranteed that if the government is formed here, every woman will be given Rs 1000 every month as Mahila Samman Rashi. The BJP’s Khattar and Nayab Singh Saini government ended government jobs. You bring the Aam Aadmi Party in Haryana, the way the youth are getting jobs in Punjab, the youth of Haryana will also start getting jobs under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal.
Manish Sisodia said that today Arvind Kejriwal is in jail, because he gave good education to the children of Delhi, gave good hospitals to the people and made the electricity bills of the people zero. He started the same work in Punjab as well. Therefore, the BJP felt that now Haryana elections are coming, if he comes to Haryana, then the people here will vote for their son Arvind Kejriwal and make him win. That is why the BJP put him in jail by making a fake case against him. “This time the people of Haryana will give a reply to Arvind Kejriwal’s imprisonment by getting the security deposits of the BJP candidates forfeited. The people of Haryana now want a government that works,” said the former deputy chief minister of Delhi.
