New Delhi: Sounding the poll bugle for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday that his party will win all the seven seats in Delhi.

“I am giving you, the people of Delhi, the responsibility of Delhi’s seven Lok Sabha seats. In return, I give you the promise of a beautiful, healthy, and educated Delhi,” Mr Kejriwal said while inaugurating AAP in-charge (East Delhi) Atishi Marlena’s office for the general elections.

Mr Kejriwal presented to the people a report of the work done in the past three-and-a-half years of AAP’s government and challenged the BJP government and their MPs to do the same.

The Delhi state in-charge and Cabinet minister, Gopal Rai, said: “BJP’s MPs have cheated the people of Delhi. They have played with people’s emotions on the issues of welfare and Delhi’s statehood. This is why it is necessary to change them in the coming elections.”

While discussing Delhi government’s historic achievements in the past 3 years, Gopal Rai emphasised that “Delhi model will pave the way ahead for the nation.”

Recounting Ms Marlena’s invaluable contribution in the educational revolution, deputy CM and education minister Manish Sisodia asked the crowd, “Have the areas with BJP rule in the past 15 years given the people new schools, colleges, or hospitals?”

He questioned BJP government’s intentions and claimed that fear of her brilliant work in education led the BJP government to sack her from the post of advisor to the education minister.

“Delhi will respond to these lowly actions in the next elections,” Mr Sisodia said.

At the occasion, East Delhi’s Lok Sabha in-charge Ms Marlena asked the people, “By naming this road Vikas Marg, did people get schools, universities, or hospitals? For real development, AAP has to be strengthened.”
