New Delhi: Ahead of elections in Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday released their manifesto for the national capital. AAP since November 2014 held a series of discussions on various issues including education, women security and governance in their initiative called Delhi Dialogue. The outcome of the dialogue is what the manifesto comprises of.

AAP has come out with a seventy point agenda for the capital.

“Most of the points in the manifesto have been released through Delhi Dialogue where many action points have been discussed with the people of Delhi and various experts since the last three months. Last time we did what we had said in 49 days, will continue to do the same this time. Other parties don’t believe in holding true to their manifestoes. The central government has done nothing they said in their manifesto in the last seven months," said AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, while releasing the manifesto in the national capital.

The party that quit in February 2014, after failing to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill, the party has once again taken up the task of reducing corruption and passing the Bill. “To ensure that people are active participants in governance, we will pass the Swaraj Bill and push for full statehood for Delhi," Kejriwal said. Like their manifesto from 2013 election, reduction of electricity bills, free lifeline water and CAG audits power discoms are a part of the parties manifesto.

Women security is a major part of their manifesto which includes putting up surveillance cameras, last mile connectivity and marshals in buses. AAP manifesto also promises an old age pension system, free Wi-Fi around the city and a hospitable environment for businesses in Delhi.

Elections will be held on 7 February and counting will be on 10 February. Delhi assembly has been in suspended animation since the Arvind Kejriwal led AAP government quit on 14 February 2014 after a 49 day stint in power.
