AAP leader and Delhi Minister Gopal Rai today accused the Gujarat government of creating fear among the public.
Rai, who is AAP's in-charge for Gujarat, kicked off party's campaign for Assembly polls scheduled later this year, by addressing booth level workers here.
"BJP government in the state is creating fear in minds of people and is full of corruption. Opposition Congress is also a participant and supports BJP in corrupt activities. In such a situation, only AAP can rid people of the terror of BJP," said Rai.
He asked party workers to take a pledge to defeat BJP in the Assembly polls like in Delhi.
"Take the achievements of Delhi government to the public...Let us pledge to defeat BJP," he said.
The meeting was earlier planned to be addressed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, but he cancelled his visit due to preparations for MCD elections in the national capital.
The party said it will begin door-to-door campaign from next month and organise farmers' agitation on May 1, following which it will present farmers' 7-point demand to the state government.
The event was marred by controversy with some AAP members, wearing the party cap, raised slogans against their leaders alleging that they were involved in selling party tickets.
They were then forced out of the venue by other members.
