The Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday (February 4) released its manifesto for the February 8 polls, focussing on quality education, health, clean water and 24-hour electricity in the national capital.

Released by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia as “28-point guarantee card”, the manifesto promises doorstep delivery of ration, free pilgrimage to 10 lakh senior citizens and ₹1 crore compensation to kin of a safai karamchari if he dies on duty.

The party said its vision is to make every family prosperous and it will continue to work for full statehood to Delhi.

The manifesto also included a plan to allow markets for 24 hours under a pilot project.

Also, Party Convener Arvind Kejriwal challenged the BJP to announce its chief ministerial candidate by 1pm Wednesday and said he is ready for a public debate with him.

He added if the BJP doesn’t do so by then, he will meet the press to announce his next course of action. “Delhiites want the BJP to declare its chief ministerial candidate and I am ready for a debate with him.”
