In an effort to bolster support for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal unveiled his '10 assurances' as part of the Opposition INDIA bloc's electoral promises for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

During a press conference in Delhi on Sunday, the AAP national convenor stated that they would unveil '10 guarantees of Kejriwal' for the  Lok Sabha Elections 2024. This announcement was postponed due to my arrest, but there are still many phases of elections remaining.

He mentioned that he hadn't yet discussed these guarantees with other INDIA bloc partners but expressed hope that no one would have any objections to them. "I assure you that once the INDIA alliance assumes power, I will ensure the implementation of these guarantees."

Arvind Kejriwal emphasized that they would ensure 24-hour electricity across the country, citing the nation's capacity to generate 3 lakh MW of electricity while the usage stands at only 2 lakh MW. Drawing from their experiences in Delhi and Punjab, they aim to replicate this success nationwide. Additionally, they plan to offer up to 200 units of free electricity to all those in need, despite the estimated cost of Rs 1.25 lakh crore, which they believe can be managed.

The AAP chief outlined their commitment to providing high-quality and free education for all, ensuring that government schools surpass the standards set by private institutions. This initiative is estimated to require Rs 5 lakh crores, with state governments contributing Rs 2.5 lakh crores and the central government providing the remaining Rs 2.5 crore.
