AAP Leaders Pay Tribute to Gandhiji Ahead of Gujarat Polls

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann on Saturday visited the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad ahead of the Gujarat Assembly elections to be held later this year.

“We are on two days tour of Gujarat. We came to the ashram to pay tribute to Gandhiji. This is my maiden visit to the Ashram after becoming the chief minister,” Kejriwal was quoted by ANI as saying.

आज गुजरात के साबरमती आश्रम जाने का सौभाग्य मिला। यह आश्रम एक आध्यात्मिक स्थान है, ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि जैसे यहाँ गांधी जी की पूज्य आत्मा बसती है। यहाँ आकर आध्यात्मिक अनुभूति होती है। मैं स्वयं को धन्य मानता हूँ कि मैं भी उस देश में पैदा हुआ जिस देश में गाँधी जी पैदा हुए। pic.twitter.com/oUg2yOGMlq
