itching for positive and honest electoral campaigning in the poll bound states, AAP National Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal addressed all AAP Punjab volunteers in a virtual meeting, saying that for the party election is not a means of grabbing power but to bring a change in the society and the whole country.
Addressing the volunteers he said, “When you go out for election campaigning, keep this thought in your mind always —you are going out to bring change in this country like a true deshbhakt.
You are not campaigning with the purpose of an electoral win but to eliminate a corrupt system from its grassroots to implement a system of honesty and integrity. The AAP Government of Delhi proved that change is possible. Till today, these political parties told us that running a government is not that easy, it requires some element of corruption and bigotry. The AAP Government proved that governments can be run with honesty as well.
These parties told us that winning an election requires truckloads of cash and even more deceit. AAP proved that elections can be fought with honesty and can also be won with honesty.”
He said, “We used to be told that government schools cannot be good, they cannot be improved, corporates should run government schools. They used to say that the children of the poor can in no way get quality education.
Look at Delhi — the Aam Aadmi Party Government proved that schools cannot just be improved but revolutionised and the children of the poor can get to stand on the same pedestal as the children of the rich. These parties could not fix government hospitals in 75 years, but AAP did it in just five years. Change is possible! And the AAP Government of Delhi is a living testament of it. It has given this country a huge hope that politics can be revolutionised for good. Yes, it is possible, but it is not easy. It requires dedicated effort just like the fight our ancestors fought for freedom.
Back then, we fought against the Britishers, today, we are against a corrupt regime, era old parties with treasuries that have no end.
What do we have? We have our spirit, we have our Deshbhakti. Every AAP volunteer should take a pledge to not rest until they eliminate this corrupt regime plaguing the country.”
He stated, “Due to Corona, the Election Commission has imposed a variety of restrictions over election campaigning. But door to door campaigning is allowed. All our volunteers should get on to door to door campaigning with full strength. Whenever you go to someone’s house — first ask them how they’re doing, how everyone’s health is.
Before asking for votes, if they need any help, first do that. Consider this to be an opportunity to commit yourselves to seva.
Then you should tell them about the AAP Government of Delhi and what all we have done in the state. Tell them about how we have transformed schools, hospitals, roads, electricity-water supply.
Tell them that AAP would do the same in your state too if it comes to power. Remember, we do not have to abuse or slander any other party or party member. We have to orchestrate a positive campaign. We have to go to every doorstep, no matter their political standings. Consider everyone to be your own, and win them over.”
