Addressing a press conference, Mr. Sisodia said that the former IPS officer had joined the party.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kumar said that he was impressed by the work done by the AAP government in Delhi and had known senior AAP leaders, including Mr. Sisodia, for a long time.

“The Delhi government has done great work in the field of water and electricity, which no other government in the country has been able to do,” Mr. Kumar said.
