AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal Saturday launched his party's Delhi Dialogue campaign ahead of the assembly polls and promised 800,000 jobs for the youth of the capital.

Addressing a gathering at Jantar Mantar in the heart of the capital, the former Delhi chief minister said that if voted to power, the Aam Aadmi Party "would create eight lakh jobs and train 10 lakh youth in the next five years".

The AAP convener also promised to better the sports infrastructure by building stadia in the city.

"I had gone to a village (in Delhi) where there was no stadium. The villagers said they had land but no stadium. I asked them to give us land so that it can be turned into stadia," he said.

 

He said all sports grounds in government schools would be opened to budding sportspersons for training.

Delhi is headed for elections after the assembly was dissolved earlier this month.
