AAP will announce the name of its chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Gujarat assembly elections on November 4.
In a press conference here, AAP's national convener requested people to contact the party through SMS, WhatsApp, voice mail and e-mail to give their views on who should be the CM candidate from the party.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was quoted by news agency PTI as saying that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will announce the name of its chief ministerial candidate on November 4 after taking public opinion for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.
In a press conference here, AAP's national convener requested people to contact the party through SMS, WhatsApp, voice mail and e-mail to give their views on who should be the CM candidate from the party.
He said that there is an atmosphere of change in Gujarat and people believe that AAP is going to form the government in the state.
"Today, I want to ask the people of Gujarat who they want to see as the next CM of Gujarat. To know the public opinion, we are issuing a number - 6357000 360. You can send SMS and WhatsApp Messages, and leave voice messages. We are also issuing e-mail - aapnocm@gmail.com," Kejriwal was quoted by PTI.
Kejriwal also said that people can give their choice in four ways - SMS, WhatsApp, voice mail or e-mail till 5 pm on November 3, and the result will be declared the next day --- November 4.
"We will announce the result on November 4," the AAP supremo said at a press conference here.
He hit out at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over Bhupendra Patel replacing former chief minister Vijay Rupani and said it was done without asking the people of the state.
He said by removing Rupani from the post, the BJP accepted that something was wrong and that he had shortcomings.
The AAP leader said, "Was he removed because he was corrupt or incompetent? Why was he removed? He was removed a year ago. When Rupani was brought in, he did not ask the public. He was from the public. The chief ministers keep changing without asking." Told.
Such a practice is not followed in AAP, where the party asks people to decide who they want to see as their chief minister, he said.
Kejriwal said, "During the Punjab elections, we had asked people who should be the next chief minister. People took Bhagwant Mann's name with a huge majority. And as per the wishes of the people, we announced his name."
