Delhi CM

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday unveiled AAP's '10 guarantees' if his party wins the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Kejriwal's assurances encompass a broad spectrum of public welfare initiatives, including pledges for free electricity and improved healthcare.

He said "Out of the 10 guarantees, the first guarantee is that we will provide 24-hour electricity in the country. The country has the capacity to generate 3 lakh MW of electricity but the usage is only 2 lakh MW. Our country can produce electricity more than the demand. We have done it in Delhi and Punjab, we will do it in the country also. We will provide up to 200 units of free electricity to all the poor. It will cost Rs 1.25 lakh crore, we can arrange it..."

"BJP has always failed on its promises; my guarantees have proven track record," Mr Kejriwal said. "People have to take a call whether to go for 'Kejriwal ki Guarantee' or 'Modi Guarantee."

The AAP chief advocated for replicating Delhi's model of uninterrupted power supply nationwide.

Second on  Kejriwal's poll guarantees list is revamping education in government schools. The Delhi Chief Minister claimed that Rs 5 lakh crore will be required to remedy that and that state governments and the Centre should pay Rs 2.5 lakh crore each to make up for the total cost.

"...Today, the condition of our government schools is not good. Our second guarantee is that we will arrange good and excellent free education for everyone. Government schools will provide a better education than private schools. We have done it in Delhi and Punjab. Rs 5 lakh crores will be required for this. State governments will give Rs 2.5 lakh crores and central government will give Rs 2.5 crore for this..." said the AAP supremo.

Kejriwal categorically said better healthcare will be his third guarantee.
We will arrange good treatment for everyone. Mohalla clinics will be opened in every village, every locality, said the Delhi CM. “District hospital will be converted into a Multispeciality Hospital. Every person born in this country will get free treatment. Treatment will not be done on the basis of insurance as this is a big scam. We will create infrastructure. Rs 5 lakh crore rupees will be spent on healthcare," he added.

"Our fourth guarantee is 'Nation first'. China has occupied our land but our central govt is denying it...There is a lot of strength in our army. All the land of the country which has been occupied by China will be freed. For this, efforts will be made at the diplomatic level on one side and the Army will be given complete freedom to take whatever steps it wants to take regarding this...A scheme like Agniveer is harmful for the army and the youth are also troubled by it. The Agniveer scheme will be withdrawn..." said Kejriwal.

"...Our sixth guarantee is for farmers. You can give a life of dignity to the farmers, if you are paying them full prices for their crops. Based on Swaminathan report, farmers will be provided full prices for their crops based on MSP. Our 7th guarantee is that Delhi will be given statehood which has been the right of the people of Delhi for many decades. Our 8th guarantee is unemployment. Our 9th guarantee is to end corruption. BJP's washing machine is the biggest cause of corruption in this country. Our 10th and last guarantee for businessmen...GST will be simplified..." outlined the Delhi CM.
