Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal appealed on Friday to the people of Goa to stop supporting conventional parties, which contest successive elections solely to fill their coffers and give a chance to a party with a proven record of service to its people.
In a press release, AAP stated that on the second day of his two-day visit, Kejriwal addressed massive Jansabhas in Shiroda, Benaulim, Navelim, Cortalim and Velim, where the party received tremendous support.
Addressing the Jansabhas Kejriwal hit out at the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress saying that Goa's state of affairs will remain unaffected no matter which party forms the government. "The Congress governed for 27 years, while the BJP ruled for 15 years. If you give them five more years, nothing will change. Give AAP one chance," Kejriwal said.
Continuing to attack the BJP and the Congress, the Delhi chief minister said Goa had to incur a debt of Rs 24,000 crore due to their failed governance, the release adds.
"If you vote for them again, the State's debt will increase to Rs 50,000 crore within five years and then to Rs 1 lakh crore", he said.
He promised that his party will pay off the entire debt and will make the state profitable.
Further he said, "There are two types of politics going on; on the one hand, you have the politics of the Congress and the BJP, who run businesses and fill their coffers with the tax money paid by the people. On the other hand, you have the politics of AAP, which is spending the tax money paid by the people for development purposes".
