"There are around 3,500 schools in Delhi in which 18 lakh students study. Half the schools come under MCD, rest under Delhi government. There is a shortage of teachers. And, in some schools, even if they come, they don't teach," he said.


 
Speaking about the work needed in the health sector in Delhi, Singh said massive efforts were needed to reach medical services to the poor.
 
As to the "None of the Above" (NOTA) option on electronic voting machines, he said, "NOTA poses no disadvantage to AAP.
 
We will not give voters a chance to go for the NOTA button by providing them the best options for candidates. Our party is strictly looking into each and every AAP election candidate's record."
 
As to why he chose AAP, Mr Singh said "I was into social service after retiring from NSG. I used to teach students and motivate them to join army.
 
"It was only when I met Anna Hazare in Jhajjar (Haryana) that he motivated me saying the country needed people like me.
