During his visit to Bharuch, the AAP chief haf urged the people of Gujarat to “break the arrogance of the BJP” by voting AAP to power. He also lashed out at the BJP for “creating a world record in paper leaks” as he enlisted the “derelict condition of schools and hospitals” in Gujarat.

The Dehli CM also mocked the education sector in Gujarat, enlisting the alleged exam paper leak incidents since year 2017 and said, “I have heard that the Guinness Book Record officials held a meeting yesterday and they are going to add the BJP’s name in the list of maximum paper leaks… There is even a paper leak of Class 7 in this list.”
