AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has accused the BJP and the Congress of "not taking steps" to ensure remunerative crop prices to farmers, employment generation and improving health and education services since Independence.

Addressing a rally here on Saturday, he asked people not to vote for the BJP or Congress in the next Assembly elections and sought the support of youth for building a "new Haryana".

"I want to ask the BJP and Congress why did they not improve the conditions of hospitals and schools in the last 70 years. Why work for the welfare of farmers was not done? Why efforts were not made for generating employment for youth?
