Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday, addressing a public rally in Jangpura said that Manish Sisodia will be appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister if AAP forms the government in Delhi in view of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.
Everyone is saying AAP will be forming a government in Delhi. In our next government also, Manish Sisodia will be the Deputy CM," the former Delhi chief minister said. The whole Jangpura is saying – no one could do what AAP did. This time also we will make AAP win,\" Kejriwal said.
Sisodia, who has been fielded from the Jangpura Assembly constituency, said, "People want to see Arvind Kejriwal as the CM again. I want to urge the people of Jangpura that now when the whole of Delhi is choosing Arvind Kejriwal, they should also choose me so that I can work more on education and work in tandem with Arvind Kejriwal's vision. I will work for the betterment of Jangpura."
Delhi Assembly polls was not just a contest for the national capital but the whole country, said Kejriwal. The poll pits the two varying ideologies -- welfare for the common man versus benefit to some select rich individuals -- against each other, he added.
"This election is a choice on how taxpayer's money should be spent. One ideology, the BJP, will spend public funds on loan waiver worth thousands of crores for its favorites, whereas our AAP model stresses providing free electricity, education, health care and transport for the common man," Kejriwal said at a press conference.
Criticising the BJP-led Centre, former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit Wednesday claimed that it had waived debts amounting to Rs 10 lakh crore of 400-500 industrialists during the past five years.
