New Delhi, 30/11: On Monday, the Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal said that since his predictions for Punjab and Delhi proved correct, he has the same for Gujarat.
On a piece of paper, the Delhi chief minister penned his projections—key AAP leaders Gopal Italia, Isudhan Gadhvi and Alpesh Kathiriya will win their seats by big margins. He said the AAP would win 7-8 of urban Surat’s 12 seats, a BJP bastion.
Some of Kejriwal’s predictions are brave since the AAP managed to get a meagre 28,418 votes across the 30 seats it contested in 2017. But its impressive performance in the state’s local body polls, where it registered a vote share of 13.28 per cent, showed that it could vie for the Opposition space currently occupied by the Congress. In the long run, it could also emerge as an alternative to the BJP.
