You Heard PM's 'Mann Ki Baat'. Now, Arvind Kejriwal Brings 'Talk To AK'

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Jul, 2016 12:25 PM
  • You Heard PM's 'Mann Ki Baat'. Now, Arvind Kejriwal Brings 'Talk To AK'
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will hold an interactive session, titled 'Talk to AK', tomorrow where people from across the country can ask him questions over the phone, through text messages and social media.
 
The move, intended to reach out to people across the country, comes at a time when Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party is gearing up for Assembly elections in a number of states including Goa, Punjab and Gujarat.
 
The Chief Minister will hold an hour-long live session tomorrow at 11 am and take questions through Twitter, Facebook, phone calls and text messages. The government has made arrangements at Delhi Secretariat from where Mr Kejriwal will interact with people.
 
The government has launched a dedicated website - 'talktoak.com' - through which people can ask questions. They can also ask questions by dialing 011-23392999.
 
If 'Talk to AK' gets good response from people it will be held every month, an official said.
 
"We have received thousands of questions through messages and social media in the last few days. The Chief Minister will answer people's questions. Music composer Vishal Dadlani will moderate the hour-long session," a government spokesperson said.
 
To a question on whether the programme is on the lines of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat', he said it is a different programme where Mr Kejriwal will take people's questions directly.
 
"For a long time, the media team of the Chief Minister was working on the project. He is expected to start the interaction by speaking about the AAP government's performance over the past year and a half, and thereafter he will take questions from people," another official said.
