AAP will be in power in Karnataka like in Delhi, Punjab: Delhi CM Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would form a government in Karnataka like it did in Delhi and Punjab, Chief Minister of the nation’s capital Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday.

“We, the common people, were challenged to get into politics when we demanded law against corruption. We formed a political party. Our first government was formed in Delhi and then in Punjab. Now, we will form our next government in Karnataka,” the AAP chief told said while addressing a farmers’ rally, organised by various farmers’ body, led by the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS).

The KRRS convenor Kodihalli Chandrashekar joined the AAP and called upon the KRRS members to extend full support to the party. Speaking about the alleged corruption in Karnataka, Mr Kejriwal said the previous Congress government was called “20 per cent commission government” and the current BJP government “40 per cent commission government.”

Mr Kejriwal referred to the recent suicide by a civil contractor who had accused in a purported suicide note Karnataka Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister K S Eshwarappa of charging 40 per cent commission. “Delhi has zero per cent commission government because there is a hardcore honest government in Delhi. Not a paise is taken as bribe,” Mr Kejriwal said.
