Arvind Kejriwal launches ‘Budget Patra’ campaign, claims AAP policies save Delhi families Rs 35,000 monthly

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal launched AAP's 'Bachat Patra' campaign, claiming families save Rs 35,000 monthly under AAP's schemes and warned of financial burdens under BJP.

NEW DELHI: AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday launched AAP's 'Budget' Patra campaign, claiming that his government's initiatives save every Delhi family Rs 25,000 per month, with new schemes adding another Rs 10,000.

"Budgets usually lead to inflation, affecting households. People must assess how AAP's policies impact their finances.
Pressing the 'Jhadu' button ensures Rs 35,000 in savings, while choosing the BJP will result in an equal monthly burden," Kejriwal said.

AAP's claimed savings

Kejriwal outlined key benefits under AAP’s rule:

Free electricity: Rs 4,000-Rs 5,000 per month
Free water: Rs 2,500 per month
Free bus travel: Rs 2,500 per month
Free education: Rs 10,000 per month
Mohalla clinics & hospitals: Rs 5,000 per month

He accused the BJP of planning to scrap these schemes if elected. "The BJP has said they will end free education, mohalla clinics, and free bus travel," he alleged.

New promises

Kejriwal announced additional benefits under AAP's governance:

Rs 2,100 monthly for women
Free bus travel for students
Free medical treatment for senior citizens

"These schemes will further add Rs 8,000-Rs 10,000 in monthly savings," he claimed. AAP workers will visit households to fill out the 'Bachat Patra' and inform residents about these financial benefits.

Water Crisis & EC Notice

Kejriwal also congratulated Delhiites for their "struggle" against contaminated water, claiming ammonia levels in the Yamuna dropped from 7 ppm to 2 ppm.
Taking to X, he said, "Our struggle bore fruit. The poisonous water sent to Delhi has now stopped. If we had not raised our voice, half of Delhi would be without water today."

He also alleged Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini was responsible for the issue and wrote to the Election Commission demanding a criminal case against him.
