Lok Sabha Elections 2024: In his second address to the nation, party workers, and AAP supporters after being granted interim bail by the Supreme Court (SC) in the excise policy scam case, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched 10 poll guarantees for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
“A discussion is being held in the country about PM Modi’s guarantees. He gave a guarantee to deposit Rs 15 lakh in everyone’s bank account. He gave a guarantee of 2 crore jobs a year. He said that farmers’ income will be doubled by the year 2022. That didn’t happen. There’s no trace of bullet trains and smart cities. Kejriwal gave guarantees to provide free electricity in Delhi and Punjab, opening new schools, and Mohalla clinics; and we fulfilled all of these guarantees,” said Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said, "Today we are going to announce '10 guarantees of Kejriwal for' the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. This was delayed due to my arrest but there are still many phases of elections left. I have not discussed it with the rest of the I.N.D.I.A bloc but this is like a guarantee that no one will have any problems with. I take this guarantee that after the I.N.D.I.A bloc comes to power, I will make sure that these guarantees are implemented."
