NEW DELHI: With the Delhi assembly elections less than two weeks away, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday pledged to eradicate unemployment in the national capital within five years if re-elected.
In a video message, the former Delhi chief minister stressed that creating jobs for the youth would be his top priority. “Our team is drafting a detailed plan to address the issue of unemployment,” Kejriwal said.
Touting his government’s achievements in Punjab, Kejriwal claimed that the AAP government there provided 48,000 government jobs and facilitated over three lakh private-sector jobs for youth in less than two years.
“We know how to create employment, and our intentions are honest. With the people’s support, we will eliminate unemployment in Delhi in the next five years,” he stated confidently.
Polling for the Delhi assembly elections is scheduled for February 5, with results to be declared on February 8. The AAP, aiming for a third consecutive term in the city, faces a stiff challenge from the BJP.
