Sisodia to be my deputy CM, says Kejriwal at rally

With the Delhi assembly elections round the corner, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday addressed public gatherings at various places in the city, urging people to choose "welfare-centric schemes over an additional burden of around ₹25,000 per month" which they will have to face if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) comes to power.

NEW DELHI:

"If the BJP comes to power, families will face an additional financial burden of ₹25,000 every month, making life unaffordable for the common citizen," he said at a rally in Jangpura constituency, where he was speaking for the party's candidate Manish Sisodia. Kejriwal also announced that if the AAP is voted to power, Sisodia will be appointed as the deputy chief minister (CM) of Delhi.

"I have chosen my closest aide, Manish Sisodia so he can execute all schemes that were stuck here and work for the people here and bring new projects to the area," the AAP convener said.

At the rally, Sisodia said, "If I become MLA... It's not only me, but the people of Jangpura who will become the deputy CM, as just one call from anyone from Jangpura will be enough for any work done."
