Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday announced that his party will contest the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in 2022.
"AAP will contest in the next Assembly polls in UP. People from UP asking us to provide the same facilities and governance as Delhi," said Kejriwal.
Questioning why people from UP should have to look at Delhi for health services and education, he said Mohalla clinics, free electricity, water, good education and health facilities can also be provided in the state.
Kejriwal said UP has been held back from progress and development because of "dirty politics" and "corrupt" politicians in the state.
