Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convener Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday lauched a scathing attack on Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and Congress and said if any of these parties is voted to power in Goa again, it will "plunder" the state exchequer, leading to doubling of the debt burden to Rs 50,000 crore.

Addressing a public meeting in Mayem assembly constituency, Kejriwal said Goa accumulated a debt burden of Rs 24,000 crore during the regime of the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP).

"If Congress or BJP are allowed to rule Goa for another five years, they will continue to plunder the state exchequer and the debt burden will increase to Rs 50,000 crore," he said.

He claimed that AAP will provide a "corruption-free and honest" government in Goa.

"We have to change the system. AAP has promised to give an honest government in Goa. The money which went into the Swiss bank accounts should be brought back to the state coffers and utilised for public welfare," he said.

Reiterating his party's election promises, Kejriwal said AAP will provide uninterrupted electricity supply to the citizens free of cost. According to him, 35 lakh families are getting such a benefited in the national capital.

"Only Kejriwal can do this magic, no other party can do it," he said.

On the mining industry in Goa, Kejriwal said, "Despite the Supreme Court order asking the state to resume mining, the BJP-led government did nothing because of their setting. But if AAP comes to power in the state, it will resume the mining operations within six months."
