"I accept the challenge. I'll come to Lucknow on December 22. Tell me who will be up for debate," he said.
He further said that the news reports reflect the situation of UP schools.

Arvind Kejriwal had said that “AAP will contest the next Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections 2022.” Adding, he had said that people from UP have been asking them to provide the same facilities and governance as the national capital.
He had also said that the development in Uttar Pradesh was held back due to the “dirty politics” and “corrupt leaders”.
For the last three years, the Aam Aadmi Party has been trying to contest elections in other states but has been unsuccessful. The party is now looking to participate in Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls which are slated for early 2022.
