Speaking at the event, AAP supremo and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that every household in the national capital saves an average of Rs 25,000 a month due to the AAP government’s welfare schemes and if the party returns to power, its new initiatives will add another Rs 10,000 to people’s savings, party supremo Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday.
“Our volunteers will reach out to people and get them to fill the ‘Bachat Patra’ in which they will note how much they are saving through our free welfare initiatives,” Kejriwal said.
Delhi goes to polls on February 5 and the results will be announced on February 8.
