Gujarat govt not giving permission to hold rally: Kejriwal

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today claimed that the Gujarat government is not giving AAP the permission to hold a rally in Surat, a matter the party has been pursuing for more than a month now.

Kejriwal is to address a rally in Surat on October 16.

“Why Guj govt not giving permission to hold rally in Surat? Pursuing for more than a month,” the AAP chief tweeted.

AAP was to hold a rally in Surat last month, but it was cancelled.

A traders’ body which had invited him to Surat, withdrew the invitation due to pressure from the state government, AAP had then alleged.
