Kejriwal welcomed Ojha into the party, highlighting his potential to strengthen AAP's ongoing efforts in education. "Our focus has always been on transforming education in India. Ojha's joining will significantly contribute to this mission and help us build a stronger nation," he stated.
Manish Sisodia, a key figure behind Delhi's education model, termed Ojha's induction a "special day" for the party. "Avadh Ojha has been an influential force in the field of education, and his contribution aligns perfectly with the work we have been dedicated to for years," Sisodia remarked.
