AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Monday delivered a strong message to the district and booth-level party workers, asserting that their loyalty should not lie with any individual MLA or councillor, but should be tied directly to him. With Assembly elections due in Delhi early next year, Kejriwal also emphasised that the party will decide on its candidates based purely on performance and work, and not on political favouritism.
Outlining his vision for the upcoming Assembly elections, Kejriwal said during an event at Kirari in north-west Delhi, «Your loyalty should not lie with any MLA or councillor. You should work as if I am contesting all the 70 seats (in Delhi).»
«We will distribute tickets based on performance and rigorous surveys. It does not matter if an MLA or councillor is not selected; your allegiance should be with me as I am in front of you in all the seats,» he added.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo also urged the party workers to go to the voters even if they are angry with the AAP MLAs or with Kejriwal himself, and remind them that if the party doesn't retain power, Delhi will again become like the other states.
«The people of Delhi might be upset with some MLAs or even with me, but remember that if the BJP comes to power, Delhi could end up being like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana or Rajasthan,» he claimed.
