Delhi has emerged as a model of governance, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Wednesday. He said his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is following "true Hindutva" as it wants to unite 130 crore people of the country.
Speaking at a summit on Times Now, Kejriwal replied to a question on his party’ poll strategy saying the AAP will showcase the Delhi model of governance and development.
“People want the Delhi model in every nook and corner of this country. If people want us, why shouldn’t we go? We ask for votes to improve the quality and standards of schools, provide good hospitals and electricity. This is what we have done in Delhi,” said Kejriwal.
On his party's poll prospects especially in Punjab and Goa, he hoped that the voters there will appreciate the Delhi model of governance and give their mandate to the AAP.
“All ministers get free power but that is not called a freebie. I give 200 units of free power to people, free education to children and they have problems. I want to give everything to people that the ministers get for free,” he added.

On being questioned about Yamuna, he said, “Yamuna is my responsibility. There are charges and counter-charges but cleaning the Yamuna is my responsibility. Give us some time, we are working on it. We will definitely clean it by the time next elections come.”
Speaking on a range of issues, including the national ambitions of Aam Aadmi Party, at Times Now Summit 2021 on Wednesday, Kejriwal said, “If visiting temples or celebrating Diwali is soft Hindutva, then crores of people in this country are indulging in soft Hindutva too.”
“I want to unite 130 crore people of the country, this is true Hindutva,” the CM asserted.
