NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced that the party will contest Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in 2022.
He said his party will seek votes in Uttar Pradesh on the Delhi model of governance.
He pitched free electricity, world class schools and hospitals as some of the key promises on which his party will fight the polls.
"Aam Aadmi Party will contest elections in Uttar Pradesh. The people of our neighbouring state who have been residing in Delhi have approached me and asked me to contest elections in the state. We want to give the same facilities we have provided to the people of Delhi. The people of Delhi are tired of the same old parties," Kejriwal said.
We want to make the biggest state of the country the most developing state of the country, Kejriwal said.
On Monday, Kejriwal also hailed his party's maiden win in Goa Zilla Panchayat elections, which marked the first electoral history of the party in the coastal state.
The AAP opened its account in Hanzel Fernandes who won Benaulim seat in South Goa.
