Speaking at the INDIA bloc's rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, Sunita Kejriwal cited the Delhi CM's message and said, "If voted to power, INDIA bloc will fulfil six guarantees, including good hospitals and education..."
These six guarantees promised by Kejriwal included:
1 . 24-hour electricity across the country
2. Free electricity for the poor in the entire country.
3. Will build excellent government schools in every village and locality.
4. Will open Mohalla Clinic in every village and locality; and multi-specialty hospitals in every district. We will provide free treatment to all every citizen.
5. Will provide fair prices (Minimum Support Price) to farmers for their crops under the Swaminathan Commission.
6. Full statehood to Delhi
“These guarantees will be fulfilled in the next five years,” Kejriwal said, adding that leaders have the financial plan to fulfil these guarantees .
In his message, Arvind Kejriwal said, “I am not asking you to vote for me. I am not asking you to make anyone a winner or loser in the upcoming elections. Today, I seek cooperation from 140 crore people to make this country 'Bada Bharat'. I invite 140 crore citizens to make 'Naya Bharat'.”
Meanwhile, Sunita Kejriwal, in her speech, called Arvind Kejriwal a "lion". She said, "Your Kejriwal is a lion, they will not be able to keep him in jail for long..."
She also asked, "...I would like to ask you something. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi put my husband in jail, did the Prime Minister do the right thing? Do you believe that Kejriwal Ji is a true patriot and honest person? These BJP people are saying that Kejriwal ji is in jail, he should resign. Should he resign?"
