    Taking to X, Arvind Kejriwal questioned the government’s priorities as the names of the members on the High-Level Committee were unveiled on Saturday. He pondered, “What will common man gain from One Nation, One Election?”. Highlighting his party’s vision and unwavering commitment, Kejriwal placed the welfare of all citizens at the forefront. This tweet comes days after the 3rd meeting of the I.N.D.I.A alliance at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Mumbai, which AAP is a part of. Arvind kejriwal had participated in the meeting on Thursday.
