Kejriwal: Modi Understands Only the Language of Votes
Arvind Kejriwal is a leader of a big political group in India called the Aam Aadmi Party.
He spoke to people in Goa, a small state in India.
He said that India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, only listens when people vote against his party.
Kejriwal asked the people of Goa to come together and defeat Modi's party, the BJP, in the 2027 election.
He said that if the BJP loses in Goa, the prime minister will feel less proud and will listen.
Kejriwal also talked about a government rule called E20, which is about blending petrol.
He promised that the rule would be removed by March 15, 2027, if the BJP loses the Goa election.
He reminded everyone about student protests in New Delhi that made an education minister leave his job.
Kejriwal's main message is that voting is the strongest way for people to make the government listen.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal attacked PM Narendra Modi, saying he understands only the "language of votes".
Kejriwal urged Goans to unite and defeat the BJP in the 2027 Goa assembly elections.
He claimed a BJP defeat in Goa would force the Centre to withdraw the E20 petrol blending policy by March 15, 2027.
Kejriwal said Goa poll results will come on March 10, 2027, and voters could "make Modi sweat".
AAP has two MLAs in the 40-member Goa House; in 2022, BJP won 20 seats and Congress 11.
