डरपोक @ArvindKejriwal जी
AAP का ये डर मुझे अच्छा लगा

आज तक मेरे एक भी सवाल का जवाब नहीं दे पाए

मैंने हमेशा जनता की आवाज उठाई हैं

आप मेरे सामने ना अदालत में टिक पाओगे
ना जनता की अदालत में

On Sunday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during an address to a gathering indicated that Durgesh Pathak, AAP’s youngest Political Affairs Committee member, will contest the upcoming Assembly polls from Karawal Nagar, replacing Kapil Mishra.

“Aur mai samajhta hu ki, peechli baar Kapil Mishra ke vajay se jo kami reh gayi, wo ab ye Durgesh saari kami aapki poori karenge,” Kejriwal said, addressing a gathering of people from unauthorised colonies in Karawal Nagar at his residence.

The process to regularise 1,797 unauthorised colonies in the city has gathered steam with the Centre drafting a Cabinet note, to which the AAP government has responded with suggestions.
