TIL Desk/National/Bharuch/ Ahead of the Gujarat Assembly polls due later this year, Aam Aadmi Party’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said he stands with the tribals of Gujarat and is happy to work with Bharatiya Tribal Party (BTP) founder Chhotu Vasava to bring about a change in the state and improve lives of the poor.
In his first public rally in Gujarat ahead of the Assembly elections, the Delhi chief minister said while the ruling BJP and opposition Congress stand with the rich, he stands with Chhotu Vasava, the latter’s younger brother and BTP’s national president Mahesh Vasava and the state’s poor people.
“It is an irony that two richest persons of our country come from Gujarat, and the poorest tribals of our country are also from Gujarat. In Dahod, Chhota Udepur, Aravalli, Dang — there are many areas where some of the poorest people live,” Kejriwal said at the ‘Adivasi Sankalp Maha Sammelan’ organised jointly with the BTP at Chanderiya village in Bharuch.
