The Delhi chief minister, on Monday said that the
time in Bengaluru was of introspection and that he has been able to
think and plan several things that will help serve people better.
In his second term in Delhi in quick succession,
Kejriwal says that education system and public distribution system (PDS)
needs some overhauling so as to help people.
"A lot of thought went into what should be done in
the two areas and I've even made some proposals, announcements of which
will be made soon," he said just hours before leaving for Delhi, on
Monday.
Following a quiet visit to Iskcon Temple here
along with his mother on Sunday, Kejriwal said: "I even visited the
Akshaya Patra facility here, which runs the mid-day meal scheme at
schools. And, contrary to reports that it is not executed in a hygienic
way, I found the kitchen to be extremely clean."
"...I've also spoken to a lot of people associated with the programme and want to emulate this in Delhi," he said.
Thanking the doctors at the Jindal Nature cure
Institute, where he was admitted on March 5, he said: "I am feeling
better and my blood pressure is under control." He was admitted
following a prolonged chronic cough problem and high blood pressure and
hypertension issues. Education department sources in Delhi said that a
plan to introduce the Akshaya Patra scheme in their schools was afoot a
few years ago but did not see the light given the lack of consensus over
pricing.
