New Delhi: Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has congratulated AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal for his party’s stupendous victory in the Delhi Assembly polls, saying the people of the national capital will continue to benefit from his leadership.
Responding to the Dalai Lama’s statement, Kejriwal in a tweet on Wednesday said, “Am humbled by the kind words and blessings from His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Thank you very much @DalaiLama.”
Referring to the Happiness Curriculum for government schools in Delhi, the Dalai Lama said he has a deep admiration for the efforts the AAP government has made towards “shaping better, happier human beings with improved values”.
“These measures will have a positive impact on children’s overall education, as well as helping the poor to fulfill their dreams of improving their lives,” he said.
He also lauded the AAP government’s initiative to incorporate aspects of inner mental development into the school curriculum.
“Through such initiatives, you are showing a path to the rest of India,” the Dalai Lama added.
In a near-repeat performance of 2015, the Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday retained power with a stunning victory, winning 62 of the 70 assembly seats and leaving the BJP with just eight seats.
