LUCKNOW: Going solo in the upcoming assembly polls, Aam Aadmi Party will be holding its first mega rally in the state capital on January 2, to be addressed by party national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The rally is being called the Rozgar Guarantee rally, after the second election promise declared by the party on Wednesday in which it said that it will provide 10 lakh jobs a year and an unemployment allowance of Rs 5,000 per month.
Party MP and UP in charge Sanjay Singh on Thursday said that Kejriwal would be kickstarting the party’s 2022 campaign with the rally, which was originally scheduled to be held on December 2, 2021. “On Wednesday, the party announced its second commitment to the state, after free power. To spread our message, we will hold rozgar guarantee sammelans in all 403 assembly constituencies,” Singh said. Earlier, the party had promised to provide 300 units of power free, waiver of all dues, free electricity for farmers and for irrigation.
Singh also hit out against the government for having filed 18 cases against him, the latest being for insulting the tricolour in Loni. “The FIR has nothing on what I did to insult the flag. At least file cases against me on something that has actually happened. I will not be intimidated by such tactics,” he said.
