New Delhi, Oct 21 (UNI) Aam Admi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Mr Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday launched the party’s door to door campaign for 2019 Lok Sabha elections, and sought cooperation and financial support from the people of Delhi.
Mr Kejriwal launched the four month long campaign in the New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency by himself leading the party’s teams to the houses of voters and seeking their support for their own party.
Other ministers including Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, MPs and MLAs led the campaign in their respective constituencies.
Speaking on this occasion Mr Kejriwal said ,"We are launching the door to door campaign in Delhi from today. For the next four months, our three thousand teams will knock on every door to seek their cooperation and financial support for their own AAP. "
Mr Kejriwal said the key element of the this campaign is to convince the people of Delhi that they should support and vote for the AAP even in the LS elections.
“We will tell the people that don’t be misled by the false narrative of who will be the Prime Minister and keep the 2014 experience in mind. You elected BJP MPs on all seven seats and what did you get in return ? Did these seven MPs do anything ? Is there a single work done by them that you can recall ?” he asked.
Mr Kejriwal said the only thing these seven MPs did during their tenure was to obstruct the pro-people steps being taken by the Delhi government.
“What these seven MPs did was to create hurdles in the installation of CCTVs and setting-up of Mohalla Clinics through Lieutenant Governor,” the Chief Minister said.
What Delhi requires today is that it should elect all the seven MPs who will support and strengthen your elected government so that it can work with a greater speed for the people of Delhi, Mr Kejriwal stated.
“It does not matter who will become the Prime Minister and this time nobody knows who will be the next Prime Minister, everybody seems to be nervous. Elect all seven MPs of ours and we will get the works of Delhi done from the next Prime Minister,” he said.
On the door to door fund campaign, Mr Kejriwal said he was pleasantly surprised with the response that he got from the houses visited by him.
“It is nice that people are filling up the forms for donating to the AAP on a monthly basis. We are telling the people that our party contests elections on funds collected from the common man and not the corporates, ” he said.
Mr Kejriwal said the concept behind this campaign is to honour the voters by reaching them directly and taking a feedback about the government functioning and also the party, which helps in seeking their cooperation for the future.
The Chief Minister also claimed that people of Delhi are very happy with the work of Delhi government, particularly in the fields of Education, Health, Electricity and Water.
According to the party's statement , the important of the campaign includes issue of Metro fare hike and sealing .
