Kurukshetra (Haryana) [India], May 29 (ANI): Ahead of elections to the 93 urban bodies of the Haryana Municipal Corporation, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday, during a campaign at Kurukshetra, promised to improve all schools in the state, if the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) wins the civic polls.
While addressing a public rally at Kurukshetra, the Delhi Chief Minister said, “Give me a chance, I will improve all schools in Haryana. Delhi government schools are proof. Children of the poor will also become engineers and doctors. We didn’t allow private schools in Delhi to increase their fee in the past seven years.”
“Give me a chance, I will show improvement in all the government schools of Haryana,” he added.
The rally was held in Brahm Sarover at around 12 noon
