The Delhi CM told farmers that when his party promised free power, improved school education system and better health services in New Delhi, their rivals made fun of them. But now when we did these, they started gimmicks to ‘imitate’ the AAP agenda to woo the voters, he claimed.

“Punjab has all required infrastructure to develop agri-based industry but due to ill-intentions of the present or past government, these could not deliver,” he said.

AAP, if forms a government in Punjab, won’t only provide due compensation to farmers who suffered due to natural calamity but also enhance it in proportion to production cost, assured Kejriwal.
