As the Delhi Assembly elections draw near, Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal reconnected with auto-rickshaw drivers, harking back to the party's nascent days when such drivers played a pivotal role in their grassroots campaign efforts. Kejriwal shared nostalgic notes and images of him and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia plastering campaign posters on rickshaws.

Expressing gratitude, Kejriwal emphasized his enduring bond with this community, inviting numerous drivers to his residence for tea, underscoring their vital role in the party's journey. "Today, I've invited many to my house for tea," Kejriwal shared on the social media platform X.

In a strategic political move, AAP unveiled its second roster of candidates for the forthcoming Delhi polls.
