AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal invoked the Hindu epic Mahabharata and urged people to vote for AAPs Kurukshetra candidate, Sushil Gupta, in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. He also took on the BJP-JJP government and said the Khattar government has destroyed Haryana in the last 10 years.

In a public meeting held in Haryana's Kurukshetra Lok Sabha constituency on Sunday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal drew inspiration from the Hindu epic Mahabharata to rally support for his party. Kejriwal emphasized the importance of dharma (righteousness) and urged voters to choose between dharma and adharma (non-righteousness) in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

AAP and Congress Alliance in Haryana

Kejriwal, who was accompanied by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, highlighted the alliance between AAP and Congress in Haryana for the Lok Sabha elections. Under this alliance, AAP will contest from the lone Kurukshetra seat out of the total 10 parliamentary seats in the state.

Kejriwal's Criticism of BJP-JJP Government

Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on the BJP-JJP government in Haryana, accusing it of destroying the state over the past 10 years. He called for an end to the Khattar government and urged voters to ensure AAP's victory in the Kurukshetra seat, which he believes will lead to Khattar's exit.

Dharma vs. Adharma in Lok Sabha Polls

Kejriwal drew parallels between the Mahabharata and the current political scenario, emphasizing that dharma is on the side of AAP. He contrasted the AAP's small size with the BJP-led Centre's possession of power and resources, including agencies like the IB, CBI, and ED. Kejriwal urged voters to choose dharma over adharma and vote for an MP who will work for their welfare during difficult times.

Seeking Votes for AAP Candidate

Kejriwal sought votes for AAP's candidate in Kurukshetra, Sushil Gupta, highlighting his understanding of people's problems and his commitment to raising their voices. He criticized the BJP's claim of winning 370 seats in the Lok Sabha polls, stating that they do not need voters' support. Kejriwal emphasized the importance of votes for AAP's victory and contrasted it with the BJP's dismissive attitude towards voters.

Desh Bhakt vs. Andh Bhakt

Kejriwal made a distinction between desh bhakt (patriots) and andh bhakt (blind followers), inviting those who are desh bhakt to join him. He criticized the BJP MPs from Haryana for their inaction and failure to address the state's issues over the past 10 years.

Support for Haryana Wrestlers and Farmers

Kejriwal raised the issue of Haryana wrestlers who faced sexual harassment and police brutality during their protest against the Wrestling Federation of India chief. He expressed his support for the wrestlers and questioned the silence of the 10 BJP MPs from Haryana during this incident.

Kejriwal also highlighted the ongoing farmers' agitation at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders of Punjab and Haryana. He criticized the Centre and the Haryana government for using tear gas shells against farmers demanding fair prices for their crops. He pointed out the lack of compensation for farmers whose crops were damaged last year.

Arvind Kejriwal's speech in Kurukshetra resonated with voters, emphasizing the importance of dharma, criticizing the incumbent government, and seeking support for AAP's candidate. His ability to connect with the masses and address their concerns has strengthened AAP's position in Haryana ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
