AAP holds review meeting in Navsari ahead of municipal corporation elections

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) conducted a review meeting in Navsari under the leadership of state president Isudan Gadhvi, ahead of the upcoming Navsari Municipal Corporation elections. Leaders and party workers, including AAP South Gujarat Zone President Ram Dhaduk, attended the meeting.

Speaking to the media before the session, Gadhvi highlighted key issues in the city and outlined the party’s plans for the elections. “The Navsari Municipal Corporation elections are approaching and a review will be conducted with party workers in this regard,” he said.

Gadhvi criticised the current administration in Navsari, stating that long-standing governance challenges have affected public services. “BJP has been ruling Navsari for years and people are suffering from various problems. BJP leaders do not know how to govern and all the money is going into corruption. The leaders are so arrogant that they believe people have no other option even if they do not vote for them. This arrogance is troubling the public today,” he said.

He also raised concerns about urban infrastructure and civic services, adding, “Even demolitions carried out have not been put to proper use. If in the city of Union Minister for Jal Shakti C.R. Patil, water comes once every 45 days, one can imagine the situation. The point is that the development Navsari deserves has not taken place. Taxes are being imposed on the public. As per information received, taxes in Navsari are likely to be almost doubled after the elections. Navsari is facing many issues related to roads, water supply, sewerage and inflation. Women are not provided free bus travel.”

Highlighting AAP’s governance model in other states, Gadhvi urged residents to consider the party as an alternative. “I appeal to the people of Navsari that a strong alternative is now emerging and an opportunity is coming. Till now, people may have suffered under the BJP system. When the Aam Aadmi Party formed the government in Delhi and provided 300 units of free electricity, BJP governments in other states were also forced to provide free electricity. If the people of Navsari form an AAP Municipal Corporation, they will not only get various facilities but also a corruption-free civic body. Public money will be properly utilized over five years. Facilities will be provided such as Gujarat has never seen before,” he said.

Gadhvi cited the party’s record in Punjab, stating, “In three years, the AAP government in Punjab has done such good work that it won 87 percent of the seats in the local body elections. In Punjab, electricity and water have been made free, schools have been built, and 43,000 kilometers of good roads are being constructed. Punjab has been made drug-free and youth affected by addiction have been given jobs. 56,000 government jobs have been provided without a single rupee of bribery or any paper leak. The AAP government in Punjab has achieved what was considered impossible in three years, which is why people have given such a massive mandate.”

He appealed to the people of Navsari to “rise above greed, inducements, casteism and regionalism, and choose the politics of work.” Gadhvi added that preparations for the election are underway and the candidate selection process is expected to begin within the next fifteen days.
