AAP to contest 2022 UP Assembly elections, says Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday announced that the Aam Aadmi Party will contest the forthcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in 2022. 

“In eight years, the AAP formed government thrice in Delhi and has come out as main opposition in Punjab. We will fight Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in 2022,” Kejriwal said.

“Many brothers and sisters of Uttar Pradesh live in Delhi. When AAP formed govt third time in Delhi, then many people belonging to UP gave us suggestions that we should contest polls in the state. They said that they were unhappy from the present parties in the state,” he added.
