This would be Kejriwal's second visit to Gujarat in less than a fortnight. He had visited the BJP-ruled state on July 9 to kickstart AAP's poll campaign for the 2017 state Assembly elections.
AAP also announced that the party would stage protests over the Una incident across Gujarat tomorrow, including in the cities such as Rajkot, Vadodara, Bhavnagar, Surendranagar, Anand, Junagadh and Bharuch.
Some persons claiming to be "Gau rakshak" (cow protectors) thrashed seven Dalit youths at Una town last week alleging that they had killed a cow which they were skinning. The victims claimed that they were skinning the cow which had died of natural causes.
Video of the incident went viral, sparking protests. A head constable was today killed after a mob attacked police in Amreli town, while some Dalit youths have tried to commit suicide in protest against the incident.
