- Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann launched a two-day visit, holding massive mahapanchayats in Modasa and Dediapada to engage directly with dairy farmers and tribal leaders.
- Kejriwal called on the Gujarat government and Sabar Dairy to pay ₹1 crore each in compensation to the family of Ashok Chaudhary, the farmer killed in the July 14 lathi-charge over a milk-price protest.
- The AAP leaders accused the state administration of crony capitalism, alleging cooperatives underpay producers by manipulating milk fat measurements and favouring corporate contracts tied to Gautam Adani.
- Highlighting the jailing of AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava, Kejriwal said Vasava was imprisoned for exposing an alleged ₹71 crore MGNREGA scam linked to the sons of a Gujarat minister.
- The campaign builds on recent bypoll wins in Punjab and Gujarat as AAP positions itself as a rural champion and readies for the 2027 state assembly elections.
