NEW DELHI/HARYANA:
The Aam Aadmi Party kicked off its ‘Ek Mauka Kejriwal Ko’ campaign in Haryana on Sunday. AAP National Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal, whose roots go back to Haryana itself, addressed a massive rally in Kurukshetra. Interestingly, the rally was organised at the Brahma Sarovar area, often revered as the cradle of civilisation, and saw the AAP Convenor’s call for a shift towards the politics of development and honesty. He stated, “We’ve eradicated corruption from Delhi and Punjab, will do so in Haryana too; only AAP can deliver an honest government in this country. Our Health Minister of Punjab was asking for bribes from officers; no one had any idea about it, others would have asked for a cut but AAP immediately sacked him & sent him to jail. AAP’s commitment to honesty is so sacred that even if my son treads towards the wrong path, we will not spare him. Show your strength in this municipal election, we’ll eliminate corruption from the municipal corporation and then in 2024 we will eliminate corruption from the whole of Haryana. I fail to understand why Haryana is bearing the brunt of these crooks; they can’t build schools-hospitals or give employment; it’s time to throw them out and vote for AAP. Heard that BJP is thinking of sacking Haryana CM Shri Manohar Lal Khattar Sahab and bring a new CM face to Haryana; is Khattar Sahab corrupt that he needs to be sacked? I challenge the BJP to contest the 2024 Haryana Polls with Khattar Sahab as their face. In Treta Yuga, Lord Ram fractured Ravana’s ego; in Dvapara Yuga, Lord Krishna broke Kansa’s ego; and now, in Kal Yuga, farmers shattered the BJP’s pride and ego. The farmers of Haryana and Punjab forced an arrogant government to bow down and had withdraw all three agricultural laws. If you want to make your children Engineers, Doctors and Lawyers, then come with us; if you want to make your children rioters, hooligans, rapists, then go with them. Aam Aadmi Party is a party of honest Deshbhakts; we care for the country, we don’t do hooliganism like them. They will never give jobs to your children because they need unemployed goons for their party. In Haryana, every single paper gets leaked, how can Khattar Sahab run a government if he can’t stop paper leaks? I will write to the Prime Minister requesting that army recruitments be started immediately so that aspirants can join the army. If Haryana also needs 24×7 free electricity like Delhi, then the government will have to be changed, Khattar Sahab can not give free electricity. We will form an alliance of 130 crore people of this country and make India the number one country in the world.”
Among those present at the rally were Rajya Sabha MP and Haryana in-charge Dr Sushil Gupta, Haryana co-in-charge Shri Mahendra Chaudhary, AAP Leader & Former MP Shri Ashok Tanwar.
Addressing a massive Jansabha in Haryana’s Kurukshetra, accompanied with roaring chants of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, AAP National Convenor and Delhi Chief MInister Shri Arvind Kejriwal said, “It makes me the happiest when people call me ‘Haryana ka Lal’. Haryana is my birthplace, my Janambhoomi; and one’s birthplace – their homeland is like a mother to them. No one can pay back the debt of motherhood, of their Janambhoomi even if they are given seven lives. I am feeling deeply elated and blessed to be present here among you all on my Janambhoomi, and Kurukshetra’s Dharambhoomi. I was informed that a thunderous storm here struck Haryana yesterday – this is a good omen. People told me that it came from Punjab, from Delhi. And an even bigger storm is yet to strike Haryana – a storm of honest politics and good governance. Gods above us swept their brooms in heaven and brewed a storm, which is nothing but a positive reckoning. There is no need to be afraid of this storm.”
He continued, “I would like to begin by congratulating the entire farming community of Haryana, as well as thanking them. It is commendable the way the farmers from Haryana and Punjab managed to make such a powerful government bow down in front of them by persevering day and night for over a year and seeing their revolutionary movement through. 36 communities and all religions came together under one umbrella and anchored themselves at the Singhu border to fight for their rights, irrespective of summers or winters; hail, rain, or sunshine. Eventually the Centre was compelled to roll back its black laws. As they say, even Ravana’s ego and pride did not last. The Central Government took great pride in their power and believed no one would dare stand up to them, but here we are. Our farmers have won. Back in the Treta Yuga, Lord Shri Ramachandra fractured Ravana’s pride and ego; in the Dvapara Yuga, Lord Shri Krishna broke Kansa’s pride; and now, in Kali Yuga, farmers shattered the BJP’s pride and ego.”
He further said, “I do not know how to practise petty power politics. I am a straightforward man who simply knows how to get work done. We transformed the schools in Delhi, developed splendid institutes with all kinds of facilities for the students. I visited a few government schools here in Haryana and saw their dismal state – similar was the case in Delhi 7 years ago. But we changed the face of these schools, their infrastructure, the curriculum, sports, activities – everything, in these past seven years. This year 99.7% students from Delhi’s government schools have passed with flying colours, something which has never happened in the 75 years since India became independent. Moreover, 4 lac students have struck their names out from private schools and taken admission in Delhi’s Government schools. Even the richest of the richest have made the shift, and are sending their kids to government schools instead. Two years ago, the then US President Donald Trump visited India along with his wife Melania, who especially requested PM Modi for a visit to the Kejriwal Government’s schools which she had heard a great deal about. Modi tried to talk her out of it, encouraging her to take a look at his government’s schools instead, but she was determined to come visit our schools in Delhi. Did anyone come and visit Haryana’s BJP government’s schools? Forget people from outside the country, did anyone bother to ask to visit Khattar Sahab’s schools from within India also? People will only visit when there’s something worthy enough to see, when the Haryana Government actually reforms its schools from the dilapidated state they are in right now.”
Citing examples of some exceptional students, Shri Arvind Kejriwal said, “Students completing their education from Delhi’s government schools are going on to become extremely successful and capable adults – kids from extremely impoverished backgrounds are becoming engineers, doctors, lawyers, and so on. One such student is Shubham from Delhi’s Uttam Nagar, whose father works as a security guard in some company and earns a meagre income of Rs 6,000 a month. He was a student at one of Delhi’s government schools, and his father could not even afford to buy him books or uniforms – all of which he was provided for free by the school. This year, he appeared for the IIT entrance exams, which is the country’s premier engineering institute. I myself am an IIT graduate, a college which sees lacs of applicants but only accepts in hundreds. Shubham got a phenomenal All India Rank (AIR) of 215, and a seat in the Computer Science branch. Not just Shubham, but 400 such students from Delhi’s government schools have joined the most outstanding engineering colleges. Another example is that of Kushal Garg from Shastri Park, whose father works as a labourer in a cardboard company and earns merely Rs 11,000 a month. He has secured admission into All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), the top most institute for studying medicine in the entire country. I was speaking to Kushal’s father, who said that had the government schools been in the same condition they were 5 years ago, his child would also have to grow up to be a labourer like them; he thanked me for the work the Delhi Government did to improve the schools.”
He continued, “Students hailing from poor families are not at all weaker than their rich counterparts; they are equally intelligent. Their horizons are simply restricted due to the lack of means available with their parents and the incompetence of governments who fail to help them, and hence the child too grows up to remain poor. We can only imagine the number of Shubhams and Kushals all over Delhi – lacs of students just waiting to realise their potential. There are 18 lac such students in Delhi’s government schools, whose future was terribly bleak earlier. Similarly, the future of lacs of students in Haryana appears bleak right now. But you give one chance to me, to the Aam Aadmi Party, and we will completely transform these schools into the top educational institutes. I do not make empty promises – I have made the change in Delhi, my team is capable of doing the same in Haryana. I will ensure a better tomorrow for the children of the poor, they deserve it. They will become doctors and engineers and lawyers. While not all private schools are exploitative, many have generated an environment of fear with their exorbitant fees and untimely increases in the name of ‘development charge’, ‘library charge’, ‘picnic charge’, and so on. In Delhi, we have capped the fees in private schools; not allowed them to increase it in the past 7 years. In fact, we conducted audits in various private schools, which resulted in them having to return the extra money they charged from the innocent parents – yet another instance of something that has never happened before. Whoever here wishes to prepare their children to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, businesspersons, and successful adults, I urge you to join me and my team. On the other hand, whoever wants their kids to grow up and become gangsters and criminals, can go with the BJP.”
He added, “The BJP is full of lunatics and hooligans, rapists and criminals – whose only purpose is to terrorise innocent people and squander as much money as they can while they are at it. Either they themselves instigate violence and riots, and indulge in heinous acts of murder and rape, or they go out to support the criminals who do. In the recent past, a group of vandals attacked my house. These people went ahead and honoured those vandals at their headquarters. Everyone knows about how their men crushed several farmers under their jeep in UP and then fled away from the scene. Their whole party bowed down in front of that murderer and put forward their strongest men and best lawyers to protect them. Whenever a rape case comes to the news, it is these same people and their party who are the first to reach the scene to not just protect the perpetrators but also take out rallies in their support. Whenever their party makes it to news it is for violence, rioting and heinous crimes. On the contrary, when the AAP makes it to the news it is for development of education, healthcare, electricity, water and roads. Aam Aadmi Party is a party of well-meaning, honest deshbhakts who don’t care for hooliganism and cheap politics. How strange is it that when someone commits a crime in America they end up in jail but in India, they end up the so-called largest political party of the country. In Europe, rape convicts get harsh punishments in jail but in India rape convicts get bouquets and grand welcomes by their party leaders.”
He added, “Our society needs to decide once and for all. Do we want an India of hooligans and vandals or of progress and development? The Khattar Government has been in power since the last seven years. Have they been able to give even a single youth employment? The answer is out in the open. Not one capable child has got a job in Haryana. On the contrary, AAP’s Delhi Government has given employment to twelve lac youths in its term till yet. We have further pledged to deliver 20 lac employment opportunities in the next five years. The whole data is accessible to all on our websites. The question here is, if I can give so many jobs in Delhi, what stopped them in Haryana. The answer, their intention. They will never give employment to the youth of Haryana. They need uneducated, gullible youths without a brain of their own to think so that they can create ruckus, go on rampages, commit violence at their behest. On the other hand, these people send their own children to the most premier institutes abroad to get an education that can be boasted of.”
He continued, “I got to know about the terrible state of education in Haryana when someone presented me with a list of paper leaks in the state. In 2020 there was, HSSC Junior Draftsman Paper Leak, Haryana Police Recruitment Paper Leak; in 2021, Haryana Police Recruitment Paper Leak again, Kurukshetra Health Department Paper Leak; in 2022, HSSC Paper Leak, Gram Sachiv & Patwari Paper Leak, TGT Recruitment Paper Leak, Dental Surgeon Recruitment Paper Leak. I want to ask Khattar Sahab — how will you run this government when you’re incompetent and incapable of even organising a fair examination? The situation of BJP’s Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh Governments is exactly the same. They too can’t organise exams without paper leaks. BJP’s name is going to be recorded in the Guiness Book Of World Records for the highest number of paper leaks. I have a genuine doubt, why do people vote for people like them? These people can’t fix their schools-hospitals, they can’t repair roads, they can’t supply electricity and water. Why are people suffering because of them? I call upon everyone to throw these crooks out of power. There’s an honest party waiting in line for a chance.”
The Delhi CM further stated, “Youth of this land are waiting to join the army. But this government is so incompetent that it can’t even schedule the armed forces recruitment exams. It has been 2 years, there has been no new recruitment since 2020. I appeal to the Central Government and the PM. There are 1 lac vacancies in the armed forces. Please let the children fill them up. They are waiting with great aspiration. In Bhiwani, a youth died by suicide because of frustration of not getting into the army. I will also write to the PM seeking recruitment for the army.”
He added, “Two crore people of Delhi enjoy free healthcare services today. Before we came to power, the government hospitals were in a dilapidated state. We transformed them into multi super-specialities and built hundreds of Mohalla Clinics. Then we announced free healthcare for all irrespective of the cost. One such beneficiary is Monica. She lives in Laxmi Nagar with her husband. Unfortunately both Monica and her husband got diagnosed with cancer. Her husband was a milkman and after cancer, that business shut too. Such a huge disease leads people into poverty, they are compelled to sell whatever small asset they have. But the god was with them. AAP’s Delhi Government had announced free healthcare by then. They went to LNJP Hospital and got world-class treatment absolutely at no cost. Both of them have recovered and are back on their feet now. Crores of such people bless us every day immensely. It is because of them that we are progressing so rapidly.”
He continued, “Delhi used to face a turmoil of power-cuts before we came to power like Haryana. We are providing free electricity 24×7 in Delhi, we can do so in Haryana too. If you want free electricity, bring AAP to power. Khattar Sahab won’t give you free electricity. Recently, we got to know about our Health Minister of Punjab trying to seek bribes from officers on tenders. The media did not know about it, nor did the opposition. Had we wanted, we could’ve asked for a cut. But AAP is not like this. We immediately sacked him and sent him to jail. Back in 2015, my cabinet’s Food Minister did the same in Delhi. I got his audio recording. No one got to know about it but I sacked him and handed him over to the CBI. The Aam Aadmi Party is committed to the virtue of honesty. So much so that even if my son treads the wrong path in the future, he won’t be spared.”
He further said, “These old parties are full of scamsters. Have they ever kicked anyone out of their party for graft? They haven’t because they all take cuts that go all the way to the top-brass. Only the AAP can truly provide an honest government. We eradicated corruption in Delhi, then in Punjab and now Haryana will get freedom from corruption. I heard about how in Haryana one has to shell huge sums for Property ID. The state is entering the municipal polls. Come rise to the occasion. Give AAP one chance. Just like Delhi and Punjab did. I guarantee, you will forget who these old parties are. AAP’s Jhaadu will first sweep the municipal bodies clean and then do so in the state polls in 2024 too.”
Shri Arvind Kejriwal concluded, “A journalist said BJP is planning to sack Khattar Sahab and bring a new CM in to counter the anger. Is Khattar Sahab corrupt? Does he not have the potential to run the government? I challenge the BJP. If you have courage, fight the 2024 Haryana elections on Khattar Sahab’s face. AAP only has one aim. To make India the number one country of the world. Our people, our youths, our lands have immense potential. Our politicians only lack the will. People ask us about alliances. I declare, AAP is not interested in forming alliances. AAP wants to build an alliance of 130 crore Indians. We will ally with farmers, labourers, doctors, engineers and every citizen of India to regain India’s lost pride.”
