Arvind Kejriwal Promises India's Biggest Sports University In Jalandhar

Arvind Kejriwal said only his party, the Aam Aadmi Party, was working for schools and education.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday promised an international airport and the country's biggest sports university in Jalandhar if his party comes to power in the state.

Mr Kejriwal, who is on a two-day visit to Punjab, said Jalandhar is well-known for its sports industry and that several popular sports persons, especially cricketers and hockey players, use products manufactured here.

"When the AAP forms government (in Punjab), the country's biggest sports university will be set up in Jalandhar," he said during the party's Tiranga Yatra. Speaking about the international airport in Jalandhar, Kejriwal pointed out it has been a long-pending demand of people in the Doaba region, that lies between the rivers Beas and Sutlej.

He praised the farmers for their "victory" against the Centre's three farm laws.
