Jalalabad, Punjab: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday slammed the Congress saying that it could not provide water supply to villages in Punjab in 70 years.

Addressing a Nukkad Sabha (a street corner meeting) in Jalalabad, ahead of Assembly elections in the state, Kejriwal alleged that there is no water supply in 150 villages in the Congress-ruled state.

“There’s no water supply in 150 villages, don’t know what they’ve (Congress) done in last five years, they couldn’t even supply water in last 70 years but we’ll ensure water supply to every village once our government is formed,” he said.

Kejriwal has been campaigning in the poll-bound state for the past few days. He held a roadshow in Pathankot on Thursday. Earlier he also campaigned in Fatehgarh Churian of Gurdaspur district.

Kejriwal and the party’s chief ministerial candidate Bhagwant Mann conduct a roadshow in Jalandhar Cantt Assembly constituency on 16 February.

Assembly polls for electing 117 assembly seats in Punjab will be held on 20 February. The results will be declared on 10 March.
