Arvind Kejriwal Pledges 24-Hour Electricity in AAP's Election Promises, Know 10 Guarantees For India's Future

Arvind Kejriwal: Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, announced today the '10 guarantees' offered by the AAP in the event that they win the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Arvind Kejriwal's assurances cover a wide range of public welfare projects, such as promises of improved healthcare and free electricity.

Kejriwal's Proven Track Record

"BJP has always failed on its promises; my guarantees have proven track record," Kejriwal said. He added that, "People have to take a call whether to go for 'Kejriwal ki Guarantee' or 'Modi Guarantee.'" The guarantee of free electricity for everyone is at the center of Kejriwal's election campaign promises, with an emphasis on the underprivileged segments of society. The leader of the AAP argued for a national rollout of Delhi's uninterrupted power supply model.

Leveraging Capacity for All

"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 more electricity 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 ₹ 1.25 lakh crore, we can arrange it," Kejriwal said.

Restructuring education in government schools comes in second on Kejriwal's list of poll guarantees. The chief minister of Delhi asserted that ₹ 5 lakh crore would be needed to fix that, and that the federal government and state governments should each contribute ₹ 2.5 lakh crore to cover the entire expense.

Transforming Government School Education

"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. ₹ 5 lakh crore will be required for this. State governments will give ₹ 2.5 lakh crore and central government will give ₹ 2.5 crore for this," he said.

Revolutionizing Healthcare

The AAP national convener also proposed spending ₹ 5 lakh crore to upgrade India's healthcare system and restructure government hospitals. "The condition of our government hospital is not good in our country. Our third guarantee is better healthcare. We will arrange good treatment for everyone. Mohalla clinics will be opened in every village, every locality. 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. ₹ 5 lakh crore rupees will be spent on healthcare," Kejriwal said.

Putting 'Nation First'

Kejriwal claims that other assurances on the list include "freeing" Indian land from Chinese rule, ending the Agniveer program, giving farmers MSP in accordance with the Swaminathan Commission report, and giving Delhi full statehood.

Kejriwal said that, "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."

He added that, "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."
