Arvind Kejriwal pointed to his party’s achievements in Punjab, where AAP provided 48,000 government jobs and helped facilitate over 300,000 private-sector jobs for young people in less than two years.

As the Delhi elections draw closer, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is intensifying its efforts to secure a win in the upcoming polls. This time, the election presents unique challenges for the party, and AAP is fully committed to overcoming these hurdles.

Arvind Kejriwal criticised the BJP for promoting violence and hooliganism in Delhi, claiming it reflects their fear of electoral defeat.
