Prior to the Assembly elections in Punjab, the AAP had conducted a survey in which Bhagwant Mann had been the clear popular choice. Mann went on to become the chief minister of the state.
Kejriwal targeted the BJP stating that the party has no agenda on what it will do in the next five years and that people are troubled by the issue of inflation.
The AAP convener also questioned why Vijay Rupani was removed as chief minister and when Bhupendra Patel was brought in as his replacement did the BJP ask for the opinion of the state's people.
The Election Commission has not yet announced the election dates for the Gujarat Assembly election.
AAP's hopes in Gujarat have been fuelled by its performance in the February 2021 Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) polls in which BJP won 93 seats, while Aam Aadmi Party bagged 27 seats and the Congress drew a blank.
The term of the Gujarat Assembly ends on February 18, 2023. In the 182-seated Gujarat Assembly, there are 111 BJP and 62 Congress MLAs at present.
