Newly elected Jalandhar MP Sushil Kumar Rinku on Sunday met AAP national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to seek his blessings and guidance. Rinku called on Kejriwal at the latter’s official residence. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and Rajya Sabha members Sanjay Singh and Ashok Mittal were also present.
After the meeting, Rinku told reporters that it was under the AAP national convener’s guidance that they were able to win the bypoll in Jalandhar. He also credited the people-centric developmental work in Punjab over the past year for their success. He said that ongoing construction work on several flyovers and roads needs to be expedited. “Although I have been elected for a short period, AAP’s roadmap for the constituency will be both for my current term and the longer term. We are going to work while keeping the next five years in mind” he said.
