Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday released its manifesto for the upcoming Delhi assembly election 2020.
The manifesto was released by Chief Minister and party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and party leaders Gopal Rai, Sanjay Singh among others.
“AAP has the vision to run the government and to ensure that common people live their lives happily. In the last five years, we have worked to make Delhi a modern and advanced capital. And the manifesto also lays out a map for further pursuance of that objective,” Manish Sisodia said in a press conference.
The manifesto promises doorstep delivery of ration, free pilgrimage to 10 lakh senior citizens and Rs 1 crore compensation to kin of a safai karamchari if he dies on duty.
The manifesto also included a plan to allow markets for 24 hours under a pilot project.
The Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress have already released their manifesto for the elections.
The assembly elections on all 70 seats are scheduled to be held on February 8 and the counting of votes will take place on February 11.
AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal challenged the BJP to announce its chief ministerial candidate by 1 pm Wednesday and said he is ready for a public debate with him.
He said if the BJP doesn’t do so by then, he will meet the press to announce his next course of action.
“Delhiites want the BJP to declare its chief ministerial candidate and I am ready for a debate with him,” he told reporters after the AAP launched its manifesto for the February 8 polls.
