"We never expected this to happen; it's as if we're
dreaming while awake. I've never met a leader before, and today we're going to

Gujarat's Valmiki community "Mr Solanki made the statement while
accompanied by his mother and younger sister.
Arvind Kejriwal welcomed Mr Solanki and said his family was
waiting for him at his home.
"I have a request, Sir. Will you come to the home of
someone from the Valmiki community and have a meal the same way you came to
Gujarat last time and had a meal at the home of an auto-driver?" Mr
Solanki stated during the townhall meeting.
"I'll definitely come to your house, Harsh. But first, I'd like to make a suggestion. Will you agree, "According to Mr. Kejriwal. Mr Kejriwal stated after Mr Solanki agreed, "I've seen all of the leaders go to Dalit homes to eat before elections. However, no leader has ever invited a Dalit to his home. Will you come to my house for dinner?"
The audience responded with loud cheers and claps when the invitation was accepted.
Gujarat, where elections are due later this year, is the AAP's next major target after Delhi and Punjab.
