Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday asked the BJP if the Gujarat Legislative Assembly will be dissolved for announcement of elections in the State next week.
In a tweet, the AAP national convener also wondered if the BJP was so much scared of his party that it plans to hold elections in the State much ahead of the schedule.
"Is the BJP going to dissolve the Gujarat Legislative Assembly and announce the Gujarat elections next week? So much fear of AAP?" Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi.
The Assembly polls in the Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Gujarat are expected to be held later this year. Riding high on its stupendous victory in the Punjab Assembly poll, the AAP is preparing to contest on all seats in the Gujarat elections, hoping to gain a foothold in the state.
Early this month, the AAP claimed that its internal survey found that the party could win around 58 seats in Gujarat Assembly polls. The survey said AAP is likely to get votes from rural voters and from the lower and middle-class segments in the urban areas. "As per our internal survey, as on today we will win 58 seats. People of rural Gujarat are voting for us.
The lower and middle class in urban areas want a change and will be voting for us," Dr Sandeep Pathak, Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab who is also believed to be the mastermind behind AAP's Punjab victory, said earlier.
