During the press conference, Yadav stated that the party was confident of replicating its governance model from Delhi and Punjab in 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 convener Arvind Kejriwal asked if they can help us form a government in Delhi, then why not in Bihar?” he said.
