Looking to gain a foothold in Haryana ahead of the Assembly elections due next year, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal today held a roadshow in the Jat-dominated areas in the state, urging people to vote the party to power to build a "new Haryana".
Kejriwal's roadshow comes close on the heels of a rally in Hisar on Sunday where he had announced that the AAP would contest the Haryana Assembly polls.
During his roadshow in the Rohtak-Bhiwani belt of the state today, he told people to be the change-bearers.
"We have to rebuild Haryana and a new Haryana cannot be made by old parties and old leaders. It's time for change. The AAP is the change. You have tried BJP, Congress and INLD. These parties served their own interests and ignored the common people," Kejriwal said at pit stops along the route.
The roadshow began in the morning and continued till evening.
Kejriwal, who was accompanied by the AAP's Haryana head, Naveen Jaihind, covered Bahadurgarh, Sampla and Rohtak, Kalanaur, Dadri, Bhiwani and Tosham during the roadshow.
In one of the brief speeches he made on the way, Kejriwal said, "You have to bring an AAP government in Haryana now. The state needs an honest government. Kejriwal alone cannot do it. I am a small person, but together 2.5 crore people of the state can bring about a change."
Attacking the BJP and the Congress, he said, "They divide people. Only the AAP can give you security, peace, build schools and hospitals, and help your trade flourish. We do not believe in hollow talks. You can ask the people of Delhi."
