NEW DELHI, April 17: AAP on Wednesday launched its “AAP Ka RamRajya” website for the Lok Sabha polls campaign to showcase the party’s concept of “Ram Rajya”, saying Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tried to realise the ideals of Lord Ram in the national capital.
The launch of the website — aapkaramrajya.com — came ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the first phase of which will be held on Friday, and coincided with the Ram Navami festival being celebrated in several parts of the country.
During a joint press conference, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said the website will showcase AAP’s concept of “Ram Rajya” as well as the work done by the party’s governments.
“Chief Minister Kejriwal accomplished wonderful things — good schools, mohalla clinics, free water and electricity and free bus rides for women — in the last 10 years for realising ‘Ram Rajya’,” Singh said.
This is the first time that Kejriwal is not among his people on Ram Navami, Singh said and alleged that the Delhi chief minister was sent to jail in a “baseless” case on the basis of statements from “false” witnesses.
“In Arvind Kejriwal’s concept of ‘Ram Rajya’, no one is big or small and the idea is to work in the interest of all. Keeping this in mind, AAP’s Lok Sabha campaign website has been launched on Ram Navami,” Singh said.
The world is learning from the work being done by Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP government, he claimed.
“Earlier, people used to say ‘learn from America’ but now the American president’s wife comes to India and says she wants to see schools built by Arvind Kejriwal. Now, Americans learn from Kejriwal’s work,” the senior leader said, referring to former US First Lady Melania Trump’s visit to a Delhi government school in February 2020.
AAP leaders Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Jasmine Shah were also present at the press conference.
Atishi, a minister in the Delhi government, said, “We are implementing the concept of ‘Ram Rajya’ in Delhi and Punjab. We want to spread the public welfare work being done by the AAP in the country and the world through this website.”
Reciting a verse from the Ramcharitamanas, she said, “Just like Lord Ram fulfilled all his promises amid hardships, Kejriwal is fighting all the difficulties and working for the people and fulfilling his promises in the same manner.” (PTI)
