Ahmedabad: Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, who is on a four-day visit to Gujarat to check the development claims of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, today visited the Sabarmati Ashram. Later today, Kejriwal will address a rally in Modi’s homeland.
The rally comes a day after the former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal Friday created a drama by suddenly demanding a meeting with Modi to discuss the issue of gas price and development in Gujarat but failed to get an appointment.
The AAP leader said, referring to Modi, You claim to have eradicated corruption. But when I met people here in villages and towns, I came to know there is a lot of corruption in your government departments. Modi’s development claims are not true and there is a lot of corruption in the state and He also said that there is an acute problem of unemployment in Gujarat, He said
The politician-turned activist also took pot shots at the BJP strongman alleging that Saurabh Patel has been made a minister by Modi. “By giving Patel like gas, petroleum, energy and minerals, in a way you allocated Gujarat’s natural resources to Ambanis, Kejriwal alleged.
He also raised questions on the issue of corrupt ministers being included in the Modi government. Naming Babu Bokhiria and Purshottam Solanki, the AAP leader questioned Modi on giving Cabinet berths to minister, who have been convicted in mining scam and fisheries scam respectively.
