AAP boss and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's MCD poll campaign reached the dusty bylanes of Nihal Vihar in Nangloi, west Delhi on Friday, promising relief from "BJP's kooda (garbage) and bhrashtachar (corruption)."

"I was here two years back and you all gave me 67 out of 70 Assembly seats-the biggest victory of any political party in India and the world. I request you all, this time, give me all 272 (MCD seats)," he addressed a crowd of over 1,000 men, women and children with blue flags of AAP waving in the background.

"We have done more work than any BJP-ruled state govt has done in even 15 years, MP's Shivraj Singh Chauhan or Chhattisgarh's Raman Singh. We've brought you Mohalla Clinics/neighbourhood dispensaries & improved Delhi govt schools. I openly challenge BJP's Vijender Gupta to show me even one work that the MCD may have done," he asked.

"Inhone to apne suni ji (they didn't even listen to their PM Narendra Modi). Modi ji kept saying Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, while MCD councillors slept and we wielded the broom," he mocked the party ruling the civic bodies.

The CM played his free electricity and water card as well, "I promised all of you that we will bring down water and power rates. We made 20,000 litres of water free and slashed power rates to the lowest in the country. In Delhi, you get 400 units of power for `1,370. In Gujarat, you get the same for `2,700 and in Mumbai, `4,000." "That is why, there is a conspiracy against my government now to dethrone me and not allow us to come to power in the MCD. All power companies and private schools, who we did not allow to raise their fee, have come together and pressurised BJP to not let us grab the MCD. If the BJP comes to power, they have planned to snatch power and electricity departments from us and keep it with MCD. Do not allow that to happen," he warned his listeners.

Kejriwal also expressed his fear that health minister Satyendar Jain may be arrested in a few days, "Just for the reason that he worked honestly, built new clinics and provided free medicines, BJP slapped four CBI cases against him. Rumours are doing the rounds that he may be arrested next week."

"Same is with my education minister Manish Sisodia, who they are trying to scare with 3 CBI cases. They even raided my office. Par chaar muffler ke siwa kuch nahi mila, raid ka kharcha tak nahi nikla (but they found only four mufflers, even their travel expenses for the raid could not be met)," he regaled his audience.
