‘Sansad Mein Bhi…’: Arvind Kejriwal sounds AAP's Lok Sabha poll bugle ahead of hitting campaign trail

‘Sansad mein bhi Kejriwal, to Dilli hogi aur khush haal,’ the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday released its election slogan while launching its political campaigning for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

The campaign was launched by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann in the presence of party leaders and declared candidates.

"I have made all efforts to serve the people of Delhi who are my family," Kejriwal said while speaking at the event at the Aam Aadmi Party headquarters on DDU Marg.

He further added, "Our slogan is 'Sansad mein bhi Kejriwal, to Dilli hogi aur khush haal' (Delhi will be more prosperous with Kejriwal in Parliament)." 

During the event, Kejriwal also slammed the BJP government saying that the Centre through the Delhi Lt Governor stalls every project launched by the AAP government and urged the people to "strengthen" him by sending all seven opposition candidates to Parliament.

"They hate you because you elected and brought an ordinary man to power in Delhi. They demolished Mohalla Clinics with bulldozers, they stopped door-to-door ration delivery scheme, tests and medicines in hospitals," he alleged.

Lok Sabha polls 2024: AAP, Congress alliance

The AAP will fight the general election in collaboration with INDIA bloc partner Congress under a seat-sharing arrangement it has struck with it in Delhi, Gujarat, and Haryana. In Punjab, however, both parties have decided to contest the Lok Sabha polls independently.

The AAP will contest four of the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi and Congress will field its candidates on the remaining three.

As per the arrangement, AAP will contest from three seats in Delhi -- New Delhi, West Delhi, South Delhi and East Delhi and the grand old party will contest from the remaining three seats of Chandni Chowk, North East and North West Delhi.

The party has also received two constituencies - Bharuch, Jamnagar – in Gujarat and Kurukshetra in Haryana under the seat-sharing deal with Congress. Separately, AAP has also declared its candidates from Guwahati, Dibrugarh and Sonitpur Lok Sabha constituencies in Assam.

General elections are due in April-May.
