/elections/delhi-polls-2025-bjps-2nd-manifesto-sit-probe-into-aaps-irregularities-and-more-aap-slams-detailsAs the Delhi assembly elections approach, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal intensified his campaign on Tuesday, warning voters that power outages could return to the national capital if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) gains control in the upcoming polls.

바카라The moment you press 바카라Kamal ka button바카라, electricity will be gone before you reach home,바카라 Kejriwal warned, referring to the BJP바카라s electoral symbol.

Speaking at a 'Janasabha' in the Adarsh Nagar constituency, Kejriwal highlighted the transformation of Delhi under his leadership, particularly in the area of electricity supply. He drew a stark contrast between the current situation and the past, saying, 바카라Today, Delhi gets 24 hours of electricity. Ten years ago, there used to be six-hour power cuts.바카라

He further claimed that under the BJP's rule in other states, citizens are still grappling with power shortages. 바카라BJP governs 20 states, yet none of them gets 24-hour electricity. If you press the wrong button, Delhi will return to six-hour power cuts,바카라 he said.

The AAP leader also emphasised the affordability of electricity in Delhi, contrasting it with the high electricity bills in BJP-ruled Gujarat. 바카라In Gujarat, a 400-unit bill amounts to Rs 4,500. But if you press the wrong button here, soon you'll be paying Rs 10,000 for electricity,바카라 he cautioned.

Kejriwal used the occasion to stress his government바카라s focus on welfare and social schemes. 바카라If God asks me what I did on earth, I'll say I provided education for the poor,바카라 he remarked, reiterating his commitment to improving education and healthcare in the capital. He also announced that AAP would establish three mohalla clinics in each ward, expanding healthcare access for residents.

Turning his attention to the BJP, Kejriwal accused the party of failing to contribute to Delhi's development and instead focusing on targeting his government. 바카라They never tell what they have done for Delhi in the last 10 years. All they do is abuse me and call me names,바카라 he said.

In a pointed remark aimed at BJP leaders, Kejriwal cautioned slum dwellers about the party바카라s true intentions. 바카라These days, BJP leaders are sleeping in slums and playing carrom with your kids. But I want to caution you - these are the same people who demolish slums,바카라 he said.

In the 2020 Delhi assembly elections, AAP won a resounding victory, securing 62 out of 70 seats. Kejriwal, who has been holding 바카라Janasabhas바카라 across Delhi to rally support, expressed confidence that the AAP will secure a third consecutive term. He was accompanied at the rally by Mukesh Goel, the AAP candidate from Adarsh Nagar, who replaced two-time MLA Pawan Sharma.

The Delhi assembly elections are set to take place on February 5, with votes to be counted on February 8.
