For the first 40 minutes into his two-hour-long “Talk to AK” session, Kejriwal highlighted his government’s emphasis on education, health, power and water. He also spoke extensively on the issue of compensation to farmers for land and crop damage. “You take all the credit”, Kejriwal said in response to a caller’s query. “The same would be over Rs 2,500 in Gujarat, Rs 4,300 in Mumbai, Rs 2,927 in Kolkata and Rs 2,690 in Punjab”. To a question on the perennial waterlogging of Delhi’s roads in the monsoon, Mr Kejriwal promised a thorough cleanup in a year and a half if Delhi’s voters gave the AAP a mandate to run the three civic bodies. “But I want to assure everyone that we will continue to work and hire experts from outside if officers are not provided by the central government”, he said. “If we can improve the situation in Delhi, it can be improved in places like Goa, Punjab and Gujarat as well”, Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal indicated that the party may contest the next Assembly polls in Gujarat, alleging that an “atmosphere of suppression” was prevailing there and people wanted to overthrow the BJP regime. It’s the people of the state who fight it.
