The A has planned to hold over 50,000 such meetings across Delhi, ensuring direct interaction with women voters, the party said in a statement.

Once the debate picks up with women discussing the facility with situation in other states like UP and Bihar, the teams sit back and carefully note the reactions by the women," said a senior A leader.

As a part of the campaign, the women are also encouraged to talk to their relatives in other states, over the phone during these meetings for input on various facilities

These teams hold 3-4 meetings every day where benefits of work done by A government under leadership of party convener and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, are explained to the women participants, said the statement.
