NEW DELHI:

Kejriwal also proposed a concession on Metro fares for students, urging the central government to share the cost with the Delhi government in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"After the AAP forms the government, bus travel will be made free for students. Currently, women enjoy free bus travel, so female students benefit from this, but male students do not," Kejriwal said at a press conference at the party headquarters.
