NEW DELHI: MufflerMan Arvind Kejriwal has shortlisted a number of promises to win the support of youth in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. However, it remains to be seen how far he succeeds with stacks loaded against him.
The AAP chief and new-found superhero of India, as called by his supporters, was undoubtedly the darling of youth nine months ago. However, a lot has changed since then. With popularity of BJP leader and PM Narendra Modi at its peak, he will certainly find it unexpectedly tough this time round.
Here are the 12 key promises made by Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party to Delhi’s youth who will go to vote in February next, almost one year after the young crusader against corruption quit as Delhi CM after his failure to bring the Janlokpal legislation.
Kejriwal has confessed it was a big mistake in his part to resign as the CM, and has promised not to repeat.
