During his two-day stay in Ahmedabad, the Delhi Chief Minister will also hold meetings with senior leaders of the AAP and interact with party members, he said on Saturday. The Kejriwal-led party is gearing up to contest elections to the 182-member Assembly in BJP-ruled Gujarat to be held by the end of this year. ”Kejriwal will reach Ahmedabad airport at 3 pm on Sunday. He will administer oath to 7,500 newly-appointed office bearers at a function at 4 pm. They will take pledge to work whole-heartedly for the party and encourage workers for the upcoming Assembly election,” AAP’s national joint secretary Isudan Gadhvi told reporters here.
These office-bearers were appointed after the AAP dissolved its state organisation structure early last month, he said. ”For the people suffering due to inflation, our party has launched a ‘Muft Bijli’ campaign. If people in Delhi and Punjab can get free electricity, then why not those in Gujarat?” he asked.
On Monday, Kejriwal will hold a town hall on ”free electricity,” nearly two weeks after the party launched a state-wide stir demanding free electricity for domestic consumers from the BJP government, he said.
