NEW DELHI:
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief
Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday released a video for BJP supporters asking them "agar mein haar gaya to aapka kya hoga?" (If I lose, what will happen to you?)
In around a 3-minute video, the former Delhi chief minister recalled an instance of him meeting a staunch BJP supporter. He started his video by saying, "I want to have an important conversation with all BJP supporters." He then said, "a few days back, I met a BJP supporter who asked me with a witty smile, 'Arvind ji what will happen to you, if you lose?', I smiled back and asked him, 'don't talk about me and tell what will happen to you, if I lose?'"

Elaborating on the meeting with the BJP supporter, he then asked the man where his children study.
"I asked him about Delhi schools. He said his children study in government schools. I asked him about the condition of schools in BJP-rules states. If I don't win, the condition of the Delhi schools will deteriorate again. I asked him about the electricity bill he receives in Delhi. You get free education, free electricity, and free health treatment In Delhi. This all will stop if I don't win."
Earlier on Friday, the AAP chief wrote a letter to the
Election Commission of India (ECI) raising allegations against Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini over the Yamuna River water row.
He alleged that instead of taking action against Saini the chief election commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar "chose to hound him." "If we had not protested and raised a hue and cry, one crore people of Delhi would have stopped getting water. ECI has sent me a notice asking why no action is taken. I saved Delhi from water crisis and I am being threatened with punishment. Instead of filing an FIR and taking action against Nayab Saini, Election Commission is after me. Neighbouring states of election states can influence elections by stopping water. Money, sarees, shoes and jackets are being openly distributed in Delhi but Election Commission is silent. ECI does not show the courage to take action against BJP today," he said.
He further said "Whatever punishment is given to me, I will accept it. We have not taken time from Election Commission, if we meet them then it is fine otherwise we will come to the gate and give our answer and water bottle to the three commissioners."
