AAP calls Modi claim of development in Guj 'humbug'

Aam Admi Party(AAP) today sought to puncture the claim of Chief Minister Narendra Modi about development in Gujarat, calling it all "humbug".
Stating this, AAP leader Ashutosh said it will put up a strong candidate against Modi in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
The party will also launch "zadu" (broom) yatra in Gujarat from tomorrow as part of its campaign for the elections.
"We will put a very strong candidate against Gujarat chief minister," Ashutosh said when asked at a news conference whether they will put up a strong candidate against the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate.
The AAP has already announced it will field poet-turned politician Kumar Vishwas against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from Amethi.

"The claim of Modi of development is all humbug. He is harping on development but I have visited areas of the city where there is no development, heaps of garbage are lying and people are not getting basic facility," he said.

"I would like to ask the chief minister what happened to his poll promise to make 50 lakh affordable houses for urban poor. Have they constructed one house? If they have they should show us where is that house," Ashutosh said.
He said AAP will not have any tie-up with either with Congress or BJP after the Lok Sabha polls.

The journalist-turned politician also staunchly defended Delhi Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal for his recent street dharna, saying Constitution does not say that a chief minister cannot hold a dharna.
He, however, said that since AAP is a new party it can make mistakes, but media should draw its attention to rectify them.
Ashutosh is here to launch the 'zadu' yatra. The yatra will be simultaneously taken out over the next four days by different groups of AAP volunteers in all the 26 Lok Sabha constituencies of the state.
They will merge at a rally in Gandhinagar on January 30. AAP is reported to have enrolled 2.5 lakh people in the state so far as its members.
