At a vibrant Hariyali Teej celebration hosted by Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Women’s Wing at Nizamuddin West Community Centre on Friday, Sunita Kejriwal, wife of AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, inaugurated the event alongside Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj and Women’s Wing President Sarika Chaudhary by lighting the ceremonial lamp. Women enjoyed cultural dance, mehendi, and traditional Indian cuisine.
Addressing the event, Sunita Kejriwal extended festive greetings and slammed the BJP government for withholding the promised ₹2,500 to women and now imposing conditions on free bus travel. The event saw the participation of Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh’s wife Anita Singh, MLA Kuldeep Kumar, and a large turnout of women.
Reflecting on the significance of Teej, Sunita Kejriwal said, “Teej is a celebration of the love, faith, and sacred bond between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. As sisters, we manage our households diligently, and on this day of Hariyali Teej, we officially get a joyful break—to apply mehendi, swing on jhula, eat our favorite food, and chat freely. All women should enjoy this festival with full enthusiasm and happiness.”
Highlighting the sense of belonging within the party, she emphasised, “We are fortunate that the Aam Aadmi Party is like one big family. May this love and harmony always remain within our family, and may we continue working together for society. During the Delhi elections, every sister put in tremendous effort. We are all connected today because of a shared passion to serve the people.”
Sunita Kejriwal said the current BJP government in Delhi has deeply wronged the women of the city. “Despite making a clear promise, the BJP has failed to provide the ₹2,500 monthly assistance to Delhi’s women. That money, too, has simply vanished. The BJP government has demolished many jhuggis of the poor, leaving several families homeless. Now, the government has also imposed conditions on the free bus service.”
“The BJP government is continuously creating various hardships for the people of Delhi. Still, we must all try to help those in need. We must never let go of this spirit. We have to keep our goodwill and energy alive,” said Sunita Kejriwal.
