The City Headlines
Ahead of the 2022 Assembly elections, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal is frequently visiting Punjab. On Wednesday, Arvind Kejriwal visited Jalandhar for the Tiranga Yatra.
Arvind Kejriwal announced that Jalandhar will get India’s biggest sports university if his Aam Aadmi Party comes to power. Other than that, Arvind Kejriwal said that the city will have an International airport to facilitate the Doaba region, which has a high NRI population in Punjab.
“We are giving two guarantees today. A lot of Doaba youth have gone abroad. It is an old demand that Jalandhar should have an international airport. If AAP comes to power, we will make an international airport in Jalandhar,” Kejriwal said.
Further, Kejriwal said, “Jalandhar is a hub of the sports industry. Sachin Tendulkar used to hit sixes with the bats made in Jalandhar. When the Indian Hockey team brought medal in Olympics, there was a stamp of the city on their sticks and balls. AAP will make the country’s biggest sports university here in Jalandhar.”
