Gujarat Assembly elections | AAP has become synonymous with 'parivartan', says Raghav Chadha

The AAP will be fighting on 181 of the 182 assembly seats in Gujarat. In 2017, it had fought on 29 seats and clocked less than 0.1 per cent of the total votes.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha has said the people of Gujarat are yearning for a change and his party is the only force that has become synonymous with 'parivartan' in the state.

The AAP's Gujarat election in-charge asserted that his party is confident about winning the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.

He said the AAP has emerged as a "formidable challenger" to the BJP and that the Congress is nowhere in the race.

"There is only one force which has become synonymous with 'parivartan' (change) and that is the Aam Aadmi Party. In order to get rid of the 27-year-old corrupt arrogant regime, people have been looking for an alternative," Mr. Chadha told PTI in an interview on Saturday.

"The Congress could not defeat the BJP in 27 years and people think that they are not even participating in the elections this time," he said.

He exuded confidence that the AAP will surpass the BJP's vote share in the state.

The AAP will be fighting on 181 of the 182 assembly seats in Gujarat. In 2017, it had fought on 29 seats and clocked less than 0.1 per cent of the total votes.
