AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal was shown black flags by some local residents as he kicked off his two-day Haryana roadshow from the city on Saturday morning.
Kejriwal along with AAP candidate Purushotam Dagar of Faridabad lok Sabha seat began his roadshow from Sector 37 market. When Kejriwal along with his supporters reached Faridabad, some residents, who claimed that they did not support any political party, showed black flags to him and raised slogans against the Aam Aadmi Party.
“Showing black flags to Kejriwal is nothing new in this country. Black flags are always shown by the Opposition parties. Kejriwal is the only leader who can govern this country very well,” said an AAP supporter. However, unfazed by the protest, Kejriwal slammed the Congress and the BJP, saying gas prices will “increase manifold” if the two parties come to power.
“Centre should not be allowed to increase gas price from April 1. There are some media reports that EC has taken cognisance of my complaints for which I am very thankful. I hope EC would not allow Centre to increase gas price.”The AAP leader had termed the Centre’s decision to increase the price of natural gas from April 1 as a clear violation of the Model Code of Conduct and had written to Chief Election Commissioner V Sampath about it. “The people of this country should decide themselves as to whom they would vote for in the lok Sabha elections. If the UPA or the BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi comes to power, gas price would increase manifold. This will only benefit the corporates,” he alleged.
Kejriwal’s roadshow passed through different parts of Faridabad like Chandawali, Dayalpur, Chaynsa, Mohna and Alawalpur and ended at Nuh.
