 "Gujarat people show black flags to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in Navsari")
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was shown black flags as his cavalcade passed by in Gujarat's Navsari on Saturday.
People were also seen chanting 'Modi Modi' and 'Chor Chor' slogans and showed black flags to Delhi CM and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal.
Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister expressed his desire to win people's hearts and make them join the party as he has been campaigning to broaden the AAP's base in the state.
"No matter who you raise slogans, I promise you that after the formation of the government in Gujarat, I will build a school for your children, I will get treatment for anyone who is sick in your house, I will also arrange employment for your children. One day, I will win your heart and join you in the party," tweeted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Earlier on October 29, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal launched a crowdsourcing campaign asking people whom they wanted as their Chief Ministerial candidate in the upcoming Assembly election in the state.
Addressing a press conference here, Kejriwal said, "We want the people of Gujarat to tell us who should be the next CM. We're issuing a number and an email id. You can send your opinions on it by 5 pm on November 3. We'll announce the result on November 4."
