After AAP’s victory in 14 out of 35 wards of Chandigarh Municipal Corporation, he led a victory march in Chandigarh on 30 December.
The Delhi Chief Minister took part in a peace march in Patiala on December 31, days after a Ludhiana court bomb blast and an attempt to sabotage the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
On January 2, Mr. Kejriwal held a rally in Lucknow and on January 3 he was in Dehradun for election campaign where he addressed a public meeting.
Delhi recorded 20,181 new cases of Kovid on Saturday, while the positivity rate increased to 19.60%.
The national capital has been witnessing a spurt in daily cases over the past few days, mainly due to the Omicron version of the infection.
