Brijesh (Gujarat): 

There are lot of false advertisements in Gujarat by MLAs. There is no accountability. Will you fight the Gujarat polls?

Kejriwal: Inspired by stories of what we did with traders in Delhi, businessmen from Gujarat invited me for a meeting. But it was cancelled after warnings from the state government. During the Patidar movement, women and children were beaten up. The atmosphere is one of suppression. I will hold a big public meeting in two-three months in Gujarat and ask people if they want us to contest. If they agree, we will do so.

What is the status of reservation for Delhi students in DU?

Sisodia: We are working on it and are in touch with the former HRD minister and DU. We have suggested five per cent grace marks for Delhi students in 28 university colleges that are aided or semi-aided by the government. We are yet to receive a response.

You say PM Modi is not letting you work and yet you give full page advertisements of work done by AAP government. How do you work if the PM is not letting you?

Kejriwal: We had constructed 8,000 classrooms, 100 polyclinics and schools in Delhi. We did work but had we not been troubled by the Centre the work would have been four times more than what we have done… Our officials have been transferred without our assent. Out of 49 secretary posts, 20 are lying vacant… The Centre is misusing its power… They want to paralyse us.. For instance, we wanted to engage Akshaya Patra for serving midday meals in schools. The organisation is serving good food in more than eight states on nomination basis but it was not approved. Land for 10 hospitals was not given; Commission of inquiry for women security was also stalled.
