Speaking on the occasion, Pathak called Vinod Garg an esteemed social worker from the Rajinder Nagar constituency, who has devoted his entire life to serving society. “Not just him, but his entire family carries a significant legacy of service. His father, Dulichand Garg, has an extraordinary history of working for the people,” he said.

“I feel very fortunate that such a dedicated and service-oriented person has joined us,” he added.

Expressing gratitude to the AAP for welcoming him into its fold, Vinod Garg said, “I am honoured to join the AAP and through my NGO, I have always tried to help the poor in any way I can. When I met Durgesh Pathak, I was very happy. I have been inspired by Arvind Kejriwal’s work and have supported the party since 2013. I will continue to serve the people through this platform.”
