Jalalabad/Abohar:

AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday appealed to people to give his party a chance to form an "honest" government in Punjab and take the state on the path of development.

On the last day of campaigning for the February 20 assembly polls, he claimed the AAP's rivals have joined hands to defeat it but the people of Punjab have made up their minds to bring his party to power.

"They have been looting Punjab for the last 70 years and want to continue it. All of them have united to stop AAP because they are afraid that if the party forms government in Punjab it will put a stop to all such practices forever," Mr Kejriwal said.

He appealed to the people to "get together and put an end to their politics of loot and corruption".

"The AAP will come to power and an honest government will be formed in Punjab. The loot of resources is about to end. Punjab's money will now be spent on the people of the state," the Delhi Chief Minister said.
