Delhi Election 2024: Manish Sisodia Moving To Jangpura Seat From Patparganj
According to PTI, Sisodia, who represented Patparganj since 2013, revealed in a letter to AAP volunteers that stepping down from his long-held constituency was a challenging decision. “Patparganj is not just a seat; it symbolises a revolution of education-based politics. Its schools are not merely educational centres but laboratories for building the future. Ojha ji’s vision and dedication to education convinced me that this is an opportunity to take a significant leap in the field of education for the country,” he wrote, adding that Patparganj would always remain close to his heart.
Earlier, Ojha expressed gratitude for the opportunity, stating on X (formerly Twitter), “Education is a means of service. I express my gratitude to AAP’s National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal ji for trusting an ordinary teacher like me. The education legacy of Patparganj by Sisodia ji will continue. I am ready to dedicate everything to advance his unmatched contribution to education. Heartfelt thanks to Sanjay Singh for his recognition of my struggles, and to all AAP workers for their support.”
