The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has unveiled a significant promise ahead of the upcoming Delhi elections, aiming to attract the student vote. Party leader and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced a plan to provide free bus travel for school and college students across the city. Additionally, AAP has proposed a 50% concession on Delhi Metro fares for students, emphasizing their commitment to easing financial burdens on families. These promises form part of a broader manifesto, which includes a total of 15 assurances, branded as “Kejriwal ki guarantees,” in contrast to the BJP’s “Modi ki guarantees.”

Kejriwal highlighted the importance of affordable public transport in ensuring access to education for students across Delhi. “Education and mobility go hand in hand. By making public transport free or significantly cheaper for students, we are investing in the future of our youth,” he said during the manifesto launch. AAP’s focus on improving public transport services and accessibility has been a consistent theme in its governance strategy, aiming to reduce dependency on private vehicles and tackle environmental concerns.

This announcement follows AAP’s ongoing emphasis on welfare schemes, including subsidized electricity and water. With the Delhi elections just days away, the party hopes these promises will resonate with voters. Kejriwal’s assurances are seen as a strategic move to counter BJP’s campaign, positioning AAP as a party committed to empowering the city’s residents, especially its youth, through progressive and people-centric policies.
