At the press conference, Yadav said the party was confident of replicating its model of governance from Delhi and Punjab to Bihar. “We have an approved model of growth and governance. The work done by the Aam Aadmi Party is being discussed across the country. People hailing from the Purvanchal region had contributed immensely to our victory in Delhi,” Yadav said.
“Our national in-charge Arvind Kejriwal asked if they could help us form a government in Delhi, so why not in Bihar?” He said.
