Kejriwal to visit Somnath temple on July 9

With an eye on Assembly elections in Gujarat next year, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will be on a one-day visit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state on July 9 and pay obeisance at Somnath temple.
The Delhi Chief Minister accused his Gujarat counterpart Anandiben Patel of cancelling his Surat visit.
"Anandiben ji has cancelled my Surat visit, but as Lord Shiva has called me, I will visit Somnath on July 9, a programme for which is in place," Kejriwal tweeted.
Sources said details of his Gujarat visit are being finalized.
Kejriwal's scheduled visit to Surat on July 10 had to be cancelled after a trade body withdrew its invitation, which AAP alleged was at the behest of state BJP government and came out with a "sting operation" to back its claim.

AAP had earlier announced that it will fight elections of 182 Assembly seats in Gujarat scheduled to be held next year.
