Key highlights of the event 


‘Will support BJP if…’

Kejriwal announced his willingness to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the upcoming Delhi assembly elections, but only if the🎉 BJP implements free electricity in the 22 states it governs. This conditional support reflects AAP's strategic positioning ahead of the polls. “If the BJP gives free electricity in all states, I will support them in Delhi,” he said while highlighting the need for broader welfare measures.

‘Double engine’ government of BJP

Kejriwal slammed the BJP’s governance model calling it a "double-engine" model. He argued that it has only caused increased inflation, corruption, and unemployment. “♛Under the Modi government, there has only been inflation and unemployment,” Kejriwal stated, promising to secure full statehood for Delhi if AAP emerges victorious in the upcoming elections.

Challenged BJP to conduct simultaneous elections

The AAP chief challenged the BJP to conduct Delhi's assembly elections simultaneously with those in Jharkhand and Maharashtra in November. “AAP is fully prepared for the contest,🧔” he asserted, signaling confidence in the party's electoral prospects and readiness to engage voters.
