The former Delhi chief minister said around 70-80 bodybuilders and wrestlers have joined the party, adding that it will not only strengthen the outfit but also associate it more closely with health and fitness issues. He promised that after retaining power in the capital, the AAP will work towards resolving the issues faced by sportspersons.
Kejriwal said in the coming days, many more gymnasium owners and sportspersons will join the party. Speaker of the outgoing Assembly Ram Niwas Goel said those who joined the AAP on Thursday have significant influence, especially in Delhi’s gyms, and wanted to contribute to the party’s mission. ‘Mauka Mauka Har Baar Dhokha’: Congress Releases Booklet Against BJP and AAP Governments Ahead of Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 (Watch Video).
Dalal praised the party’s initiatives, such as free yoga classes and support for sports development, which inspired him to join it. “The work done for sportspersons and gyms is commendable. I want to contribute to this mission,” he added.
Tilakraj expressed optimism about the sporting fraternity’s growing involvement in politics. “Many players from Delhi are planning to join us. We are committed to working hard and strengthening the party,” he said.
The AAP is aiming for a third consecutive full term in the Delhi polls and hoping that this strategic outreach to sports and fitness professionals will resonate with voters.
