New Delhi: In the midst of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took the stage on Sunday to announce 10 'Kejriwal ki guarantee' that he believes will bring relief from issues such as inflation and unemployment in the country.
Speaking at a press conference held at the AAP headquarters, Kejriwal, accompanied by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, AAP MP Sanjay Singh, and Delhi ministers Saurabh Bharadwaj and Atishi, shared his vision for a new India through these guarantees. He acknowledged that the announcement was delayed due to his recent arrest, but assured that the INDIA alliance, which he has yet to discuss this with, will have no difficulties in fulfilling these guarantees once they form the government.
Kejriwal also emphasized that these guarantees are tasks that should have been done over the past 75 years, but will now be completed on a war scale within the next five years. He specifically mentioned one of the guarantees that aims to alleviate the country from inflation and unemployment, promising to fulfill it once the INDIA alliance government is formed.
Taking a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party, Kejriwal compared his guarantees to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's promises, stating that the public will ultimately decide who to trust. He called out Modi for not fulfilling his guarantee of depositing Rs 15 lakh in every citizen's account, creating two crore jobs each year, implementing the Swaminathan report for fair prices for farmers' produce, and providing 24-hour electricity to all households by 2022.
In contrast, Kejriwal highlighted the achievements of the AAP government in Delhi and Punjab, such as providing free electricity and building excellent schools. He asserted that while his guarantees have been fulfilled, Modi's promises are not worthy of trust. Kejriwal also questioned who will fulfill Modi's guarantees once he retires next year.
Moving on to the details of his guarantees, Kejriwal revealed that the first one is to provide 24-hour electricity and free electricity for the poor in the country. He shared that they have calculated an expenditure of Rs 1.25 lakh crore for this and assured that the poor will receive free electricity once the INDIA alliance forms the government. The second guarantee focuses on education, with plans to build excellent schools in every corner of villages and cities and provide free education to all children in government schools.
Kejriwal also promised to improve the health infrastructure in the country by setting up clinics in every village, city, and neighborhood, and transforming district government hospitals into multi-specialty hospitals with free treatment for all. He then addressed the issue of China's occupation of Indian land, stating that they will reclaim the captured land through diplomatic means and give full freedom to the army to take necessary steps.
The Delhi Chief Minister also mentioned discontinuing the harmful Agniveer scheme and ensuring fair prices for farmers' produce as promised by the Swaminathan report. He promised to create two crore jobs, eradicate corruption, and abolish the GST for the business community. He also assured that the BJP's "washing machine" will be broken and the GST will be removed from the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
In conclusion, Kejriwal urged the public to consider his guarantees and the track record of his government while making their decision in the upcoming elections. The ball is now in their court to choose between his guarantees and Modi's promises.
