Representatives of all of them were called in for a meeting today. They have been given training,” he told ANI.
After the meeting, the minister said that for the upcoming Delhi elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is preparing for all seventy seats in the assembly and is confident in defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) once again.

For the Delhi assembly election, Aam Aadmi Party is ready to contest all seventy seats. We are preparing with full fervour on the ground, for campaigning, for alliance formation. Just like how we defeated Bharatiya Janata party before for their ignorance, this time also we will defeat them and make the government,” he told ANI.
