Today marks the birthday of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and to commemorate the occasion, his deputy Manish Sisodia will embark on a padyatra (foot march) in the national capital. The padyatra is aimed at connecting with the people of Delhi and understanding their concerns and issues.
Sisodia, who is also the Education Minister of Delhi, will begin his padyatra from the city’s Timarpur area and will cover several localities, interacting with residents and listening to their grievances. The move is seen as an effort by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to strengthen its connect with the people of Delhi ahead of the upcoming municipal corporation elections.
Kejriwal, who turned 55 today, has been instrumental in shaping the AAP’s agenda and has been credited with implementing several populist measures in Delhi, including the Mohalla Clinic scheme and the free electricity initiative. His leadership has been widely praised, and his birthday is being celebrated by AAP workers and supporters across the city.
Sisodia’s padyatra is expected to cover several key areas of Delhi, including the slum clusters and unauthorized colonies, where he will interact with residents and assure them of the AAP government’s commitment to their welfare. The move is seen as a strategic one, aimed at consolidating the AAP’s support base in Delhi ahead of the crucial civic polls.
Through this padyatra, Sisodia aims to send a message that the AAP government is committed to the people of Delhi and is working tirelessly to address their concerns and issues. The event is also seen as an opportunity for the AAP to showcase its grassroots connect and its ability to reach out to the common man.
