The Delhi chief minister and his Punjab counterpart had on June 11 participated in a town hall meeting organised in Hamirpur district to deliberate on the state of education in Himachal Pradesh.
While addressing the gathering, Kejriwal and Mann had urged the voters give Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) a chance in the upcoming assembly elections, promising to overhaul the education and healthcare system in the state, currently ruled by the BJP.
“If you want the 8.5 lakh students studying in Himachal Pradesh government schools to have a bright future, give a chance to the AAP,” Kejriwal had said.
