New Delhi, January 21, 2025 — Arvind Kejriwal, the former Delhi Chief Minister, on Tuesday strongly criticized the BJP’s election manifesto, calling it “dangerous for the country.” In a press conference, Kejriwal alleged that if the BJP were to come to power, they would shut down free education in government schools and dismantle free healthcare services, including the Mohalla Clinics that have become a vital service for Delhi’s poor.
Kejriwal’s Strong Allegations
Kejriwal accused the BJP of revealing its “true intentions” in the manifesto and warned voters about the party’s plans. He claimed that the BJP would end free education and healthcare, policies that he said were central to improving the lives of Delhi’s working-class citizens.
“If the BJP comes to power, they will stop free education, end free health facilities, and make it harder for the poor to survive in Delhi. This is a direct attack on the welfare of the common man,” Kejriwal stated, adding that the BJP’s proposed policies would disproportionately hurt Delhi’s lower-income population.
Blueprint for Closure of Essential Services
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader further alleged that the BJP’s Sankalp Patra (manifesto) outlined a blueprint for shutting down key government programs, including Mohalla Clinics and government schools, both of which have been integral to Delhi’s welfare programs in recent years.
“Mohalla Clinics and government schools have been a lifeline for many, providing affordable healthcare and education. The BJP wants to close them down, which will severely impact the poor and marginalized sections of society,” Kejriwal added.
Kejriwal’s Appeal to Voters
The former Chief Minister appealed to Delhi residents, urging them not to support the BJP in the upcoming elections, claiming that their policies would jeopardize the future of the country and harm Delhi’s poor. “The BJP’s manifesto is a threat to the future of Delhi and India,” Kejriwal emphasized.
BJP’s Response Pending
As of now, the BJP has yet to respond to Kejriwal’s serious allegations regarding their election manifesto.
Conclusion
Through his strong remarks, Arvind Kejriwal has painted the BJP’s election manifesto as a potential threat to the welfare of Delhi’s citizens, particularly the underprivileged. As the election nears, this issue is likely to remain a focal point in political discussions
