Paying tributes to Maharaja Agrasen, the National convener of AAP Arvind Kejriwal described him as a devotee of non-violence and the messenger of peace. He said that it is heartening that the foundation stone of the new building of Maharaja Agrasen Darbar is being laid in Nabha. Arvind Kejriwal said that the construction of Maharaja Agrasen Darbar is being undertaken by the Agarwal community and around Rs 5 crore rupees will be spent on the construction of this Darbar.

The former Delhi Chief Minister said that Maharaja Agrasen Ji was a great and visionary ruler who, during his reign, initiated a unique system to provide livelihood resources to the weaker sections of society. He said that his governance was based on the principle that no one should sleep hungry, no one should be homeless, and no one should be unemployed.

Arvind Kejriwal said that in Maharaja Agrasen Ji's kingdom, there was no distinction between rich and poor— everyone was equal, and socialism was the foundation of the state.
