“Arvind Kejriwal ji filed nomination to take the politics of work further in Delhi. Delhiites gave us a huge majority in the year 2015 and 2020. I hope that this time too people will give us their full love and blessings. We have done a lot of work for the people of Delhi including free electricity, water, free bus travel for women and in the future too we will do a lot of work for the people including ₹ Rs 2100 per month for women. Pravesh Verma thinks that he can buy the people with a pair of shoes. This is an insult to the people of Delhi and democracy”, AAP posted on X.

Before filing his nomination, Pravesh Verma visited a temple and offered prayers. Interestingly, he also personally helped women put on shoes.
During this, Verma launched a strong attack on Arvind Kejriwal. Referring to the permission granted to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to proceed with a case against Kejriwal, he said that Kejriwal has looted the people of Delhi, sold their dreams, and built a lavish palace at the expense of the people’s hard work.
Verma also accused Kejriwal of failing to contribute to the city’s development, stating that Delhi had been ruined under his leadership. He pointed out the severe pollution in the city and the contamination of the Yamuna, suggesting that Kejriwal would have to face the consequences for his actions.
