The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will stop all the free schemes being provided to Delhiites, if even by mistake came to power in the national capital.
Speaking to Tehelka.com AAP national spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said, “The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is holding 65,000 booth level meetings across the city to inform residents about the “freebies” or “revris” provided by the AAP government. We will inform people how BJP will stop six freebies and will not let another scheme be implemented.”
“If even by mistake BJP comes to power in Delhi, it will stop free schemes including, electricity, water, free buses for women, free pilgrimage schemes. They will destroy schools and Mohalla Clinics which were built by the AAP government as they are not able to give all these facilities in BJP ruled 20 states,” she added.
Speaking on the healthcare infrastructure, she said that there are 540 Mohalla Clinics in Delhi and we will build more as we have built 1000 in Punjab in just one year.
“We provide 450 medicines and 350 tests for free in those Mohalla Clinics and they are so advanced that we have different clinics for women now. Delhi government allocates 16 per cent for the healthcare budget which is the highest in India,” Priyanka said.
She further stated, “Our healthcare model is so good that people come from other states to get better treatment in Delhi that’s why BJP conspires to stop our facilities but we won’t let that happen.”
Speaking on the winning strike, the spokesperson said that our strike rate has increased in every election and we are confident that this time too we will have the best strike.
“In 2014 we won 67 seats out of 70, In 2020 we held 63 seats and in Punjab, we won 92 seats out of 117. If we look at the past experience, our strike rate has always increased and now in the 2025 elections it will increase again as I don’t see any reason for the declining rate,” she said.
Earlier, civil services coaching teacher and motivational speaker Avadh Ojha joined the AAP in the presence of party chief Arvind Kejriwal and senior leader Manish Sisodia.
Earlier, Ojha said that he is aligned with the party’s ideology focused on the future of children and termed the development of education his biggest ambition.
The 70-member Delhi Assembly polls are due to be held in February 2025. Besides the ruling AAP, the BJP and the Congress will be in the fray.
In the last Delhi Assembly elections which were held in 2020, AAP won a landslide victory and secured 63 of the 70 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won just 8 seats, while Congress failed to win a single seat.
