AHMEDABAD: A day after a high drama in Ahmedabad over his autorickshaw ride, Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday hit out at BJP and opposition Congress, promising to provide a “corruption-free” government in the state if the party came to power.He asked Gujarat Police to refuse to obey “BJP’s orders for wrong actions.”

Kejriwal responded to BJP’s claims that Narmada Bachao Andolan leader and activist Medha Patkar will be projected as AAP’s CM candidate. “Saying that AAP is fielding Patkar as a CM candidate in Gujarat is just like saying that the BJP is going to project Sonia Gandhi as PM Modi’s successor,” he said.

Kejriwal said AAP would defeat the BJP in the upcoming Gujarat polls. “I promise to the people of Gujarat that it will be made a corruption-free and fear-free state,” he said.He asked voters not to “waste” their votes on Congress, insisting that the party was nowhere in the race.

“There are people who don’t want BJP rule in the state and they also don’t like voting for the Congress. We have to get their votes as we are the only alternative,” said Kejriwal.Pitching AAP as the BJP’s main rival, instead of the Congress, Kejriwal said: “The Congress is finished. Stop taking their questions. People are clear about this. Nobody cares about their questions.”
