People will vote for work, not caste or religion: CM

Saturday, 25 January 2020 | Staff Reporter | NEW DELHI

The AAP Government's works in various sectors are being discussed widely and people would cast their votes in the upcoming Assembly polls on the basis of work done by the Government in the last five years and not on the basis of caste or religion, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said while addressing a public meeting in Rohini and Nangloi Assembly constituency.

Kejriwal said that he was very happy to hear Home Minister Amit Shah talk about unauthorised colonies, education and health in his speech as it shows that the AAP Government has changed the narrative of politics in the country.

"It shows that while in rest of the country, the BJP seeks votes on the basis of caste and religion but in Delhi, they are forced to seek votes on the basis of development work like health and education," he said.

The Chief Minister also said that the Government has done its work with full honesty and with dedication. "I am happy that there are discussions over the good work of the AAP Government. We constructed schools, provided free water, transport and electricity, facilitate pilgrimage to senior citizen.  I have been trying in all these five years to be your elder son and take responsibility.

Attacking the opposition, he said that "I am happy that they are not alleging us for corruption but they used to talk why Kejriwal is giving everything for free.

Showing the 'guarantee card', he also said "It is the first time that a Chief Minister is visiting door to door taking report card in hand after running the Government five years. 

The party had issued guarantee card in which it has listed ten promises. "In the coming 5 years we will ensure 24 hours drinking water supply to every household. BJP is trying to create confusion over free services but I want to assure you these services will be continued," he said.

The Chief Minister also promised basic facilities for unauthorised colonies in the city and to reduce Delhi air pollution by three times. "We will plant more than two crore trees to make Delhi green. Twenty-four hours of pure piped drinking water and continuation of provision of 20,000 litres of free water are also mentioned in the card," he said. 

The first 'guarantee' by Kejriwal mentioned in AAP's manifesto 2020 is uninterrupted power supply and free electricity to up to 200 units. The card also states that Delhi will be free of wires and electricity will reach households through underground cable.
