Employment for Delhi's youngsters will be my top priority in next 5 years: Arvind Kejriwal
Jan 21, 2025
NEW DELHI: If the A is voted to power in Delhi again, his top priority would be to provide employment opportunities to youngsters, party supremo Arvind Kejriwal said.
Addressing a rally in the Vishwas Nagar Assembly constituency ahead of the February 5 Delhi Assembly polls, Kejriwal said, "The biggest work I am going to do is on employment. I will arrange employment for our youngsters. Providing employment to our youngsters will be my top priority."
During his address, the AAP national convenor also highlighted the achievements of his party's government in Delhi over the last 10 years, including providing free electricity, water and quality healthcare to people, as well as improving the condition of government schools
"We are providing free electricity, water, healthcare and good government education. You can call your relatives in BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Haryana, and ask if they get zero electricity bills," Kejriwal said.
The former Delhi chief minister warned the voters against supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party , claiming that if they vote for the saffron party, it will shut down the mohalla clinics, stop the free bus rides for women and "you will have to pay for bus tickets".
Kejriwal outlined key promises under the Aam Aadmi Party's manifesto for the upcoming polls, such as a monthly assistance of ₹2,100 each for women under the "Mahila Samman Yojana" and free healthcare services for senior citizens under the "Sanjeevani Yojana".
He also slammed the BJP over the alleged breakdown of law and order in Delhi.
"They never say what they have done for the city in the last 10 years. All they do is abuse me. They call me by different abusing names," he said.
A candidate from Vishwas Nagar Deepak Singhla accompanied Kejriwal during the event. The ruling party faces a tough battle in the constituency, from where the BJP's O P Sharma emerged victorious in the last three elections in 2013, 2015 and 2020.
The A, which won 62 of the 70 seats in the 2020 election, is eyeing a third straight term in power in Delhi. The poll results will be declared on February 8.
