New Delhi [India], January 24 : Rashtriya Loktantrik Party President Hanuman Beniwal met AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday at his residence and said everyday attempts are being made to bring down Arvind Kejriwal.
Beniwal, who is MP from Rajasthan's Nagaur has extended his support to AAP giving a major setback to Congress.
He urged Jat voters to vote for APP in Delhi coming up from the caste politics and also promised Jat reservation in Delhi.
"After meeting AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal, RLP (Rashtriya Loktantrik Party) president Hanuman Beniwal said, "...Everyday attempts are being made to bring down Arvind Kejriwal, ED and CBI are being misused, several parties leaders who spoke against them (BJP) are being put in jail. This is the murder of democracy. We are inspired by the policies and work of Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi...every common person speaks about Arvind Kejriwal here..."
"I request youths, children and Jat brothers, don't consider if the candidates are from your caste or not, there is BJP on the other side so you all need to support AAP, we will get reservations for Jat in Delhi...Congress won't get anything...they have no future inside Delhi...we will be speaking about the leadership of the INDIA alliance as well," Beniwal added.
Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal talking about his meeting with Beniwal said, "Today Hanuman Beniwal came to meet me. He has already announced his support for AAP in the Delhi elections. He came to my residence today, I extend him my heartfelt gratitude...AAP stands for honesty and truth. He extended us his support because we stand with honesty and truth..."
