After Punjab, Arvind Kejriwal asks Gujarat: 'Who should be CM candidate?'

Arvind Kejriwal's AAP had earlier followed the popular opinion route in Punjab.

After Punjab, where state elections were held earlier this year, Arvind Kejriwal is now asking Gujarat: “Who should be the chief minister candidate?” In Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had conducted a survey, and Bhagwant Mann had emerged as the popular choice. Later the party had won with a huge mandate and Mann took charge as the chief minister.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal earlier said that his party will end corruption in the state, like it did in Delhi and Punjab, on priority if elected. (ANI)

At a press briefing on Saturday morning, the Aam Aadmi Party chief asked: “Who should be the next Gujarat chief minister? Please share your opinion.”

Hitting out at the rival party ruling in Gujarat, he said: "The BJP has no plan for next five years. Inflation is a big issue, across the country, even in Gujarat. When they changed the CM a year back, and removed Vijay Rupani to bring Bhupendra Patel, they did not ask people. We don't do that. The AAP seeks public view. Now, we have feelers have that the AAP is set to come to power here."

Kejriwal announced a number to register the opinion - 6357000360. On this number, people can send voice message, WhatsApp and SMSes till November 3. The results would be announced on November 4. He has also shared an email id on which views can be sent.
