Arvind Kejriwal, the chief of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), emphasized that the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls are not just a battle for the national capital but for the entire country. He pointed out the clash of ideologies between AAP's focus on public welfare and the BJP's emphasis on benefiting a select group of wealthy individuals.
According to Kejriwal, this election will determine how taxpayers' money is utilized. He criticized the BJP for waiving loans worth crores for its associates, contrasting it with AAP's approach of providing free electricity, education, healthcare, and transportation to benefit the common man.
Kejriwal accused the BJP-led Centre of favoring industrialists by waiving debts amounting to Rs 10 lakh crore over the past five years. He warned that if the BJP comes to power in Delhi, it plans to terminate all welfare schemes introduced by AAP, including free electricity and bus rides for women.
Referring to the BJP's labeling of welfare measures as "freebies," Kejriwal questioned the party's double standards in providing massive concessions to big businesses while criticizing assistance to the middle class.
The Delhi Assembly elections are scheduled for February 5, with the results to be announced on February 8. AAP aims for a third consecutive term, while the BJP seeks to reclaim power in the capital after over two decades.
