CM Atishi told the plan to win election in delhi, BJP is cooking the idea of coming to power in Delhi,
CM Atishi told the plan to win election: The electoral fervour in Delhi is at its peak, with the ruling AAP as well as the BJP and the Congress having their full strength to gain the lead in the elections. AAP has been claiming to contest elections based on the work done in Delhi in the last ten years, while several new announcements have also been made on its behalf.
VK Shukla of Dainik Jagran had a detailed dialogue with Chief Minister Atishi on what is the AAP’s strategy to gain power for the fourth time in this election in the national capital, where are the challenges and how the party will be able to overcome them. The main parts of this conversation are presented…
How challenging does the Aam Aadmi Party consider this Delhi election and what is it preparing for it?
Every electoral challenge is organised, our main opposition party is the Bharatiya Janata Party. They have all the resources, they have CBI, ED, Delhi Police and Income Tax. The Election Commission is with them. They have all kinds of power. We don’t have anything. We have a small party.
It is true that BJP is spending a lot of money on elections, we do not have money to run advertisements on TV. But people are with us. What is BJP saying today? Whereas today their situation has become that even their great leaders and the president of the state are not able to muster the courage to contest the elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party does not even have the face of the Chief Minister.
BJP is repeatedly publicising one thing that even after winning the elections, Arvind Kejriwal will not be able to become the chief minister, this is the direction of the court, what do you have to say?
When it comes to Arvind Kejriwal becoming the chief minister, this BJP is levelling the wrong allegation. Everyone has seen such an atmosphere in Delhi in the last 10 years. In this environment, we have also worked in these restrictions, so the Aam Aadmi Party also works in the restrictions.
As far as Arvind Kejriwal becoming the chief minister is concerned, it is legal, the man who can contest the election can also become the chief minister, the Bharatiya Janata Party is spreading false rumours. You must have seen that when Arvind Kejriwal was in jail, there were several petitions in the court to remove him from the chief minister’s post, but the high court clearly said that this cannot be done.
You are the Chief Minister of Delhi, what have you learned while being the Chief Minister?
Laugh… We have learnt that the decisions taken by the Ministers and the Chief Minister, we have seen the decisions taken by the Minister or the Chief Minister. There is a big difference in their needs and that of the public. I believe that if the chief minister or the minister takes the decision.
If he does not go among the people, does not make his plans by taking feedback, then if he does not talk to the people, then people will not get the real benefit of those plans, the work we have done by asking people, we have done by talking to people, taking people’s opinion.
How did you get into politics?
I come from a middle-class family, my father is not a politician, my grandfather is not the governor of any state. We think through the eyes of an Aam Aadmi Party worker who thinks. If a worker like me was in any party other than Aam Aadmi Party, then he would not even get a ticket, but in the Aam Aadmi Party, Arvind Kejriwal contested the MLA election, won the election, made me a minister and made me the chief minister.
