NEW DELHI: Ahead of the state assembly elections due early this year, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday that voters should not vote for those who “create divisions among Hindus and Muslims.”
Arvind Kejriwal was visiting the Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Rouse Avenue in the morning to oversee parent-teacher meetings (PTMs).
“Education should be a part of politics. The vote should be given to those who provide good education and not those who “create divisions among Hindus and Muslims,” said Arvind Kejriwal.
“Hindu, Muslim and Christian students are studying in Delhi government schools. This is good politics,” Arvind Kejriwal said.
PTMs are going on in all Delhi government schools.
Kejriwal’s new avatar
Kejriwal has reinvigorated the campaign for Delhi Assembly polls with a discernible shift from theatrics to hardcore politics on development issues.
With people-friendly measures, like subsidizing public utilities such as power and water and increasing the disposable income with every household, Kejriwal has donned a new hat of a development-oriented leader.
Kejriwal’s donning of a new political image could be the outcome of his one-to-ones with people at town hall meetings.
It has made him appear as an accessible leader who doesn’t shy away from taking tough questions from people.
