PANAJI: Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal will arrive in Goa on Saturday for a two-day visit to release AAP’s vision document for the state ahead of the 2022 polls.
AAP said that Kejriwal will arrive on Saturday afternoon after which he will go door-to-door campaigning in St. Andre, Cortalim, and Shiroda constituencies. On Sunday, Kejriwal is expected to meet with party functionaries and candidates, and then address a press conference.
Kejriwal was scheduled to arrive earlier this month but cancelled the visit after he tested positive for Covid-19.
Kejriwal had toured the poll-bound state previously, promising to introduce a corruption free governance model in the state if AAP is elected. He had virtually launched a door-to-door campaign in the last week.
"Now, he will do door-to-door campaigns in the state in accordance with Election Commission and Covid regulations," said the party in a statement.
The Delhi chief minister visited Goa and attended a Mahasabha last month, at which thousands of people had gathered.
As of now, AAP has announced six poll promises in Goa, offering free electricity up to 300 units per month, free pilgrimages, employment guarantee for locals and financial support schemes for women over 18 years. Kejriwal has also promised to increase the Griha Aadhar allowance from Rs 1500 to Rs 2500 per month in Goa.
