Chandigarh, December 19

Making five promises, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday appealed the city voters to give five years to the AAP in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation.

“The Chandigarh MC came into being in 1996. You gave 13 years to the BJP and 12 years to the congress, now give us five years,” he said while addressing the party supporters in a rally at Sector 43 Dussehra ground.

“Both the BJP and the Congress have messed up the city. Chandigarh used to be considered the most beautiful city in Asia. But, due to both parties’ misrule, the number 1 city has dropped to 66th position in Swachhta ranking,” said Kejriwal while claiming to make the city number 1 in Asia, if elected to power.

From the dias, he made five promises to the public. “First of all, we will end corruption in the MC and the corporation staff will come to your house for MC-related service like in Delhi,” he said.

He further said the second promise is of clearing the waste dump in Dadu Majra. “There are similar mountain of waste in Delhi as the BJP is in power in the MC there. We will soon come in power in Delhi and will clear both the dumps of Chandigarh as well as Delhi,” he claimed.  

“You will get zero water bill. People in Delhi get zero power and water bills,” he said.  His last two promises were covering the whole city with CCTV cameras for women security and doing works inside housing societies.

‘Rumour that Chandigarh will go to Punjab’

“There is one rumour going on these days that soon the Centre will give Chandigarh to Punjab. If that is the case, then vote for us in Chandigarh MC as we are going to form a government in Punjab,” he concluded.
