BJP leader Surendra Choudhary joins Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the presence of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in New D... Read More

NEW DELHI: AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday claimed that BJP was confused about its poll strategies in Delhi as its internal surveys “have found that AAP is going to come back to power with huge majority”.

“They do not know what to do,” Kejriwal said, adding that he had learned about “BJP’s survey findings through his sources”. The chief minister made the remarks while welcoming BJP leader Surendra Chaudhary into the AAP fold, who said he was miffed over the “poor handling” of the Ravidas temple demolition issue by the saffron party.

The former Gokalpur MLA, who was with BSP before joining BJP earlier this year, said he was inspired by the work of the AAP government. “I was frustrated with BJP’s anti-Dalit politics and impressed by the development work of the AAP government,” said Chaudhary, who also brought a group of supporters to AAP.

Kejriwal claimed that even RRS workers were happy with his government’s work. “I recently met an RSS worker who said government schools were in a much better shape under AAP. He said that in Delhi he will also vote for AAP. Congress supporters are saying that electricity prices are very low in Delhi so they will vote for AAP,” he said.

Claiming that only AAP stands for the Dalit rights, Kejriwal said, “It is disappointing to see BJP constantly disrespecting Dalit saints. People are angry with BJP because of this and that is why Surendra Chaudhary has left BJP for AAP.” Chaudhary was adjudged the best legislator during his tenure from 2008 to 2013.

Kejriwal will go to Maharashtra to campaign for AAP’s candidate at Brahmpuri constituency.
