New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal Speaks to NDTV’s Barkha Dutt ahead of Delhi’s Assembly election scheduled for February 7. Here are the highlights of his discussion:
• People are confident that they have to vote AAP this time.
• We will get between 45-50 seats this time.
• Last time we faced disadvantage of a new party. We had to tell people we are also in the field. People doubted us.
• This time people know only two parties in race – BJP, AAP.
• Last time anti-incumbency against congress. This time pro- incumbency in favour of AAP.
• Being in power for seven months the BJP has done nothing; In 49 days we had done much more.
• Comparing Haryana and Maharashtra to Delhi is like comparing apples and oranges.
• In those states the people had no option but to choose between BJP and Congress. In Delhi the Aam Aadmi Party has a presence.
• People of Delhi have accepted our apology.
• I have responded to “maidan chhod diya” allegation.
• People know that Narendra Modi won’t become chief minister. People want strong chief minister.
• Who is main challenger? Jagdish Mukhi. Four senior BJP leaders called us and begged “make me your main rival”.
• Do I look like a Naxal? It is not right to say such things. I urge them to focus on issues.
