Kejriwal also said, "We are providing a time-bound solution to deal with inflation, and these people (BJP) are abusing Arvind Kejriwal."

No competition between AAP and BJP

Kejriwal also asserted that there is no competition between AAP and BJP. He said that his party is way ahead.

The AAP convenor had claimed earlier that people are scared of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and that they shy away from openly admitting support for the AAP. He also said the BJP is agitated by AAP's rise and the Congress is nowhere in the polls.

Surat will go to poll in the first phase of Gujarta elections on December 1. Surat sends 12 MLAs to the state's 182-member Assembly.

Surat has traditionally swayed towards the ruling BJP, with textile and diamond merchants backing the party, along with lakhs of people associated with the sectors in the business hub.
