Reiterating his support for the farmers' call for 'Bharat Bandh' tomorrow, he appealed to the people of the country to peacefully participate in the bandh tomorrow. He said that the Central government had a full proof plan to put the farmers into jails located in the stadiums to bring an end to their movement. 'But we listened to our conscience and refused to convert stadiums into jails," said the CM.
CM Arvind Kejriwal said, "Our cabinet ministers, MLAs, volunteers, and I, everybody is serving the farmers. I am not present here as a Chief Minister, I have come here as a sewadar, I have come here to serve the farmers. The farmers put in all their hard work and efforts and grow food for us. They are in a huge problem today, and it is the responsibility of all the citizens of the country to stand with the farmers and work for their service."
"I have come here today to inspect all the arrangements in the area. I have seen that the toilets have been set up and sanitation has also been ensured. The water will be diverted inside with the help of water pipes and motors. I have seen the living and food arrangements," he added.
CM Arvind Kejriwal said that the farmers are satisfied with all the arrangements made for them. "Our MLA Jarnail Singh ji was here last night in support of the farmers. Our MLAs, ministers, officers are serving the farmers. I hope the issue is resolved as soon as possible," said the CM.
CM Arvind Kejriwal said, "AAP is supporting the farmers' call for 'Bharat Bandh' for tomorrow, i.e., December 8. All our volunteers from across the country will participate in the bandh tomorrow. I appeal to the people from across the nation to participate in the Bandh peacefully."
"The news of the changing of four mandis in Delhi is a rumour. There was a lot of pressure on us to convert the stadiums into jails. The Central government had full proof plan to put these farmers into jails located in the stadiums to end the movement. But we listened to our conscience. Sometimes, you are less worried about the results of actions, and you listen to your conscience more to know what's right," added the CM.
