We will do everything to give Delhi Statehood),” Mr Kejriwal told media here after releasing the manifesto.

Stating the benefits of full statehood, AAP convenor said, “If Delhi gets full statehood, police will be held accountable to public, women safety will be improved, and 85 per cent students will get into colleges.”
