Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, said on Friday that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is the only political party that seeks votes on the promise of delivering quality education and good medical care, news agency ANI reported. The AAP chief cited Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan from his most recent blockbuster film 'Jawan,' in which the actor encourages people to select their leaders wisely.
Speaking at the public gathering, CM Kejriwal stated: "There is dialogue from Shah Rukh Khan's film Jawan which says that votes should not be given on the basis of religion and caste, instead ask them (political parties) if they would give good education and medical care...Only AAP asks for votes on the promise of providing education to their children..."
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal inaugurated his own WhatsApp channel on Friday, citing Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Jawan' to urge people to band together and make India the number one country, PTI reported.
The Delhi CMO WhatsApp channel was launched earlier this week and now has over 51,000 followers.
Sharing the link to the WhatsApp channel, CM Kejriwal on his X (previously known as Twitter) official handle writes: "Excited to connect with you all through my WhatsApp channel. Let's work together to make India shine as the number one country in the world."
The AAP claimed in a statement that the WhatsApp channel was formed to allow people to keep in touch with Kejriwal directly.
Referring to the film 'Jawan,' Kejriwal urged the people to band together to become India the world's number one, claiming that it was India's responsibility to do so.
"Jawan is a very good film in which Shah Rukh Khan says that if someone comes asking for your vote, don't vote based on caste or religion. Instead, ask them if they will provide good education for your children and ensure good healthcare if your family falls ill," Kejriwal was quoted by PTI in its report.
The Delhi chief minister said his administration created "excellent" schools in the national capital, while his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann promised a "education revolution" in the AAP-ruled province.
