BJP Governing Gujarat For The Last 25 years Because There Is No Opposition, But Now Its AAP: Kejriwal

Mumbai: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said that BJP and Congress are afraid of people who voted for AAP in local body elections in Gujarat.

“I have been listening to the statements of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress after the results for the last few days. They are shocked and a little scared. We have to understand that they are not afraid of you or the AAP. They are scared of people who voted for you,” Kejriwal said addressing the newly elected corporators in Surat.

Addressing the event, Arvind Kejriwal said that BJP has always been the ruling party in the state for the last 25 years.

“Why has BJP been ruling here for the last 25 years? It is not because they are doing great work, but because there is no opposition. The people of the state are facing a lot of issues, but when they saw option (AAP) against the BJP, they applauded you (by making AAP win),” he said.

The BJP, which performed brilliantly in the Gujarat Municipal Corporation elections on 23 February, improved its numbers in the 2016 elections and virtually demolished the Congress.

The party has retained power in all the municipal corporations that went to the polls. This performance is all the more credible as BJP has been in power in the state for the last 25 years.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) put up a fight in Surat where it won 27 seats in its first outing. The BJP secured 93 out of the 120 seats in Surat, while the AAP secured 27. Congress and other parties did not win any seats.
