While addressing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, Arvind Kejriwal said, "we made medical treatment, water, electricity free in Delhi. We're able to do all this as we've ended corruption. We've not increased any tax. I appeal Central Govt to withdraw the increased GST. Make AAP govt here in HP, we will give you relief from inflation," news agency ANI reported. 

Additionally, the AAP national convener said, "AAP is spreading all over the country and hence many problems will come. But you don't have to worry. We want you to make an honest govt in Himachal Pradesh. We should take our state and country forward."

"Today people are upset with inflation. They (Central Govt) have imposed GST on curd, lassi, wheat, rice & other food items. The British used to do the same. In Delhi, we tried to give some relief to people from inflation," he further informed.
