With the Delhi Assembly elections just days away, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal is intensifying his efforts to attract young voters. In a video message delivered on Thursday, Kejriwal promised to eliminate unemployment in Delhi in the next five years if AAP wins the upcoming election.

바카라My team is drafting a comprehensive plan to address the issue of unemployment. Our goal is to create new job opportunities and ensure that the youth of Delhi can build a better future for themselves,바카라 Kejriwal said in the video.

Kejriwal also pointed to his party바카라s achievements in Punjab, where AAP provided 48,000 government jobs and helped facilitate over 300,000 private-sector jobs for young people in less than two years. 

바카라We have a proven track record when it comes to creating jobs, and our intentions are honest. With the support of the people of Delhi, we will eliminate unemployment here in the next five years,바카라 he asserted.

The AAP is currently in pursuit of a third consecutive term in Delhi, but it faces a stiff challenge from the BJP, which has been gaining ground in the region.

On Wednesday, AAP unveiled a seven-point 바카라manifesto바카라 for India's middle class. Speaking on Wednesday, he said the middle class has been consistently neglected by successive governments, especially when it comes to issues of taxation. 바카라The middle class is the real superpower of India바카라s economy, but they have long been exploited solely for tax collection,바카라 Kejriwal argued.

The AAP leader proposed several measures aimed at addressing the concerns of middle-class families, including raising the education budget from 2% to 10%, capping private school fees, and offering subsidies and scholarships for higher education. He also suggested increasing healthcare spending to 10% of India바카라s GDP and removing taxes on health insurance premiums.

Kejriwal바카라s demands further extended to revising income tax exemptions, with a proposal to raise the limit from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, and removing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on essential goods.

He also advocated for stronger retirement plans, including free healthcare for senior citizens in both private and government hospitals, and reinstating a 50% concession on train fares for senior citizens.

The BJP, however, criticised Kejriwal바카라s proposals, accusing him of attempting to mislead the public with 바카라populist demands바카라 that would ultimately fail to address the core issues facing the middle class.

The assembly polls in Delhia are scheduled to be held on February 5 and the counting will be done on February 8.
