AAP’s candidate in Surat is Kanchan Jariwala (East).
Mr. Sisodia said the BJP kidnapped an Aam Aadmi Party candidate out of “panic” about the state of Gujarat’s upcoming election.
“Since yesterday, Kanchan and his family have been gone. His nomination paperwork was being reviewed, so he went there. Right after his nomination was reviewed, he was whisked away by BJP thugs. His current whereabouts are unknown “stated Delhi’s AAP number two and Deputy Chief Minister.
“This is really risky. The democratic process itself has been abducted, not simply a candidate “This, he said, was not the case.
Multiple AAP officials have expressed their support for the claims.
“Our Surat (East) candidate, Kanchan Jariwala, and his family have been missing since yesterday. The BJP first attempted to have his candidacy withdrawn. The nomination, however, was accepted. At a later time, he came under intense pressure to abandon his candidacy. Do we know where he is or if he’s been taken? “Arvind Kejriwal said on Twitter.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has entered the fray in Gujarat, turning the state’s traditional BJP vs. Congress rivalry into a three-way race, posing a serious threat to the 27-year-old governing party’s hold on power.
