Vijayapura: Arvind Kejriwal, who was involved in the Satyagraha struggle with Anna Hazare, was challenged by the then central government to face and win the elections. The Aam Aadmi Party was born as an answer to that challenge, AAP State President Dr. Mukhyamantri Chandru said.
Mukhyamantri Chandru, who is on a state tour for party organisation at the local level, toured Vijayapur district on Sunday. He visited Siddeshwar Swami’s Sannidhi Jnana Yoga Ashram in the district. On this occasion, he addressed the press conference.
M Chandru directly rejected the allegation that Anna Hazare had carried out satyagraha with the intention of bringing BJP to power at the Centre. After the birth of AAP party, Anna Hazare maintained a distance that he would not go behind the power. Anna Hazare’s struggle was to bring corruption free system of government through Lokpal Bill. He did not have the ambition for power that I should become Chief Minister or Prime Minister. Now Delhi and Punjab have formed corruption free governments. The party is expanding nationwide. Through this their wish is fulfilled, He explained.
Our governments are role models for the nation. They are exemplary of how the tax money collected by the people should be used for the development of the state. If the best education and health care is available free of charge, the development of the state will be beyond expectations. Congress, which has stolen our schemes and came to power, is failing to implement them properly. Hastily, unscientifically implemented guarantees and burdened the state with debt, He said.
Why don’t we have the courage that Tamil Nadu has?
Why is the state government unable to take a clear decision that water cannot be released? In Tamil Nadu, they called an assembly and the resolution that the water should be released has been carried out unanimously. Why doesn’t our government have that courage? Immediately the session should be called and unanimously resolved that the water cannot be released, He urged.
At the same time, he criticized the alliance of BJP and JDS as a market of thieves. Then there was corruption in the name of Paytm government. Now there is corruption in the name of ATM Govt. These three parties are looting the state, He said.
