Kejriwal Criticizes BJP, Frames Delhi Polls as Battle Between Public Welfare and Corporate Bailouts.
New Delhi:
In a scathing critique of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal launched a strong attack on the ruling party at a rally in Ghonda constituency, northeast Delhi, on Tuesday. He framed the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections as a crucial decision for voters to make – whether to support policies that prioritize public welfare or to continue the trend of favoring large corporations with taxpayer money.
Kejriwal accused the BJP-led central government of misusing taxpayer funds by waiving loans worth a staggering Rs 10 lakh crore for 400 major corporations. He emphasized that such large-scale loan waivers benefited the rich and powerful at the cost of the common people, alleging that it was a prime example of crony capitalism.
“This election is about deciding where our public money goes – whether it should be used for the common people or given away to the big corporates who have benefitted from loan waivers,” Kejriwal stated during the rally.
The Delhi CM went on to reassure the crowd that the AAP government would remain committed to investing in public welfare schemes and improving the lives of ordinary citizens. He highlighted the achievements of his government, particularly in areas like education, healthcare, and electricity, and emphasized that AAP would continue to prioritize the needs of the common man over corporate interests.
Kejriwal’s remarks come ahead of the highly anticipated Delhi Assembly elections, which are expected to be a tight contest between the ruling AAP and the BJP. The AAP leader’s focus on corporate loan waivers is likely to resonate with voters concerned about economic inequality and the perceived misallocation of public resources under the current central government.
As the election season heats up, Kejriwal’s campaign strategy appears centered on contrasting AAP’s focus on public welfare with the BJP’s alleged favoritism towards big businesses. With just days to go before voting, this rhetoric is expected to play a key role in shaping voter sentiment across the national capital.
