Kejriwal's reaction came soon after a news report stating Harshita has decided to make her foray into politics by joining the party's student wing.
There were questions on whether Harshita would join the CYSS to which an announcement was made at Ghalib auditorium that she would expand the student's wing in IIT Delhi, PTI reported.
Harshita scored 96% in the board exams and cleared the JEE exam to get into IIT Delhi.
Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal himself is an engineering graduate from IIT Kharagpur. Besides, he even cleared the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) Exam before leaving the civil services to join social service and later politics.
