Date:

It is a well-known fact that political parties entice crowd at their rallies by offering money, gifts, food and drinks. Almost every big political parties spends lakhs of rupees to bring together a crowd of several thousand of people in any political rally. However, the Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday caught on the wrong foot.

After taking part in Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s rally in Hisar, Haryana,  a group of labourers on camera alleged that the party promised to pay each one of them Rs 350 and food to attend the rally.

The labourers alleged that they felt duped as the AAP did not give them anything even after they took part in the Delhi CM’s public meeting.

“Labourers allege that they were promised Rs 350 each and food, to be present at Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal’s public rally in Haryana’s Hisar yesterday but they neither got money nor food,” ANI tweeted on Monday.

“#WATCH Labourers allege that they were promised Rs 350 each and food, to be present at Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal’s public rally in Haryana’s Hisar yesterday but they neither got money nor food,” stated another tweet by ANI.

Kejriwal at his Hisar rally said that the AAP would contest the 2019 assembly elections in Haryana. He said to the people in Hisar that the AAP would recreate Delhi-like miracle in Haryana should the party voted to power in the state. Kejriwal added that he wants a “new Haryana” in which old parties and leaders have no place.

“Kasam apni janmabhumi ki, Haryana mein agli sarkar AAP ki banegi aur jo kaam koi bhi party nahin kar payee, vo Kejriwal karega Haryana mein (I am taking a pledge at my birthplace that the AAP would form the next government in Haryana and Kejriwal would do what other parties have failed to deliver in their regimes),” the Delhi CM said in his 30-minute address.

After the video of angry labourers surfaced online on Monday, the AAP faced severe criticism for allegedly “duping” the poor people and resorting to cheap tactics to bring the crowd in its rally.
