Sisodia, after filing his nomination papers emphasised that this marks yet another step forward in AAP’s mission to uphold the values of transparency and good governance spearheaded by party chief Arvind Kejriwal.
Addressing the media, Sisodia stated,“With a firm commitment to serve the people with honesty and dedication, I have filed my nomination from Jangpura. I am confident that the love, respect, and blessings showered on Arvind Kejriwal’s team across Delhi over the past decade will remain unwavering in this election as well,” he added.
He further said as an AAP candidate and a committed soldier of Kejriwal, he is confident that the people of Jangpura will extend the same affection and respect they have shown to AAP over the years.

The AAP leader exuded confidence and stated that the AAP is fully prepared for the elections.
He said,“Our party has a clear narrative, strong leadership, and genuine intent. In contrast, the BJP has no agenda for the Delhi elections. They rely solely on abuse, intimidation, and exploiting the Election Commission to fight elections”.
