New Delhi:Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi, spearheading the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has unveiled a comprehensive set of ’10 Poll Guarantees’ ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
These promises, designed to resonate with the public, cover a wide spectrum of welfare initiatives including free electricity and upgraded healthcare.
In a bold statement, Mr. Kejriwal emphasized the need for voters to choose between the ‘Kejriwal ki Guarantee’ and the ‘Modi Guarantee,’ highlighting the alleged failure of BJP’s promises in contrast to his party’s proven track record.
**Kejriwal’s Vision: Free Electricity and Enhanced Healthcare**
The cornerstone of Mr. Kejriwal’s electoral agenda is the pledge of free electricity nationwide, with a special focus on uplifting economically disadvantaged sections of society. Drawing from Delhi’s successful model, he advocates for uninterrupted power supply across India.
“Our primary guarantee is 24-hour electricity for every corner of our nation. With the capacity to generate 3 lakh MW and only 2 lakh MW utilized, we have the potential to surpass demand. Just as we’ve achieved in Delhi and Punjab, we’ll replicate nationwide, providing up to 200 units of free electricity to the needy,” Mr. Kejriwal affirmed.
**Education Overhaul and Healthcare Revolution**
Second on the list is a massive overhaul of government schools, with a proposed investment of Rs 5 lakh crore to ensure quality education surpassing private institutions. Similarly, healthcare will undergo a transformative change, with Mohalla clinics proliferating across villages and localities, and district hospitals evolving into multispecialty facilities.
“Our government schools will exceed private institutions in quality, ensuring every child receives exceptional education. Simultaneously, we commit Rs 5 lakh crore towards upgrading healthcare infrastructure, ensuring free treatment for all, irrespective of insurance,” Mr. Kejriwal outlined.
**National Priorities and Land Sovereignty**
Further guarantees include reclaiming Indian territory under Chinese control, advocating against harmful schemes like Agniveer, and implementing MSP for farmers as per the Swaminathan Commission report. Additionally, Kejriwal’s plan includes granting full statehood to Delhi, enhancing its autonomy.
“Our ‘Nation First’ guarantee addresses China’s occupation of our land. Diplomatic efforts will be complemented by empowering our armed forces to reclaim our territory. Schemes detrimental to our youth like Agniveer will be scrapped,” Mr. Kejriwal declared.
**Political Developments**
Kejriwal’s announcement comes amidst significant political shifts, including his release from Tihar jail and the formation of the Opposition INDIA coalition, uniting AAP with Congress, Trinamool Congress, DMK, and others to challenge the BJP-led NDA in the upcoming elections.
With these far-reaching pledges and the emergence of new political alliances, the stage is set for a transformative electoral battle, as parties vie for the electorate’s trust and support.
The AAP’s ’10 Poll Guarantees’ encapsulate a bold vision for India’s future, centered around inclusive development and empowerment, promising voters tangible changes if AAP secures victory in the forthcoming elections.
