Chandigarh, Sep 20 (PTI) AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday joined the party’s campaign in Haryana and held a road show in the Jagadhri constituency in Yamunanagar district.
Elections to the 90-member Haryana assembly will be held on October 5 and counting of votes will be undertaken on October 8.
Kejriwal resigned as Delhi chief minister after being released from Tihar jail last week in the excise policy case.
After the former Delhi chief minister reached Jagadhri in the afternoon, his roadshow began around 3.30 pm during which crowds gathered on the roads. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo waved at the crowds from the sunroof of his vehicle.
AAP’s Haryana unit chief Sushil Gupta accompanied Kejriwal during the road show.
Delhi minister Atishi is set to take oath as chief minister on Saturday.
The AAP is contesting the Haryana polls on its own after its talks with the Congress over a seat-share agreement broke down.

He will also participate in 13 events across 11 districts, covering the Dabwali, Rania, Bhiwani, Meham, Kalayat, Assandh and Ballabhgarh constituencies among others in the coming days, AAP national general secretary (organisation) Sandeep Pathak had told a news conference in the national capital on Thursday.
