In Surat, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said the BJP government in Gujarat plans to “dissolve the assembly in a week or ten days and proclaim early elections.”
Kejriwal is expected to officially announce an alliance with the Bharatiya Tribal Party (BTP) ahead of the assembly elections. He arrived here late Saturday to hold a rally in Bharuch with tribal leader and BTP MLA Chhotu Vasava and his MLA son Mahesh Vasava on Sunday.
“We have heard from our credible sources that the AAP has caused quite a lot of concern in the BJP,” Kejriwal said at the Surat airport in response to queries about his tweet, which implied that the BJP administration in Gujarat “was terrified of AAP” and was declaring early elections as a result. There have been friendly matches between the Congress and the BJP thus far… They don’t want the AAP to have much time, therefore they’re pushing for early elections… The Assembly will be dissolved in a week or ten days, according to sources, and early elections will be called.”
Kejriwal’s journey to Gujarat is his second in less than a month, and his first to South Gujarat and Vadodara.
