AAP compares BJP's ₹15 lakh promise to Cong's income plan


Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party on March 26 drew a comparison between the BJP’s ₹15 Lakh promise ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls to Congress’s minimum income plan, asking voters to beware of such rhetoric.

The AAP posted a picture on March 26 via Twitter showing a man getting kicked out of an ATM with BJP written on it and another ATM with Congress on it, with a caption of “beware of jumlas (rhetoric)”.

A senior AAP leader said if the Congress could fulfil its promise it is good but it might be difficult to get out of the shadow of the BJP which promised to give Rs 15 lakh if elected to power.

In a big-bang poll promise, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on March 25 announced that ₹72,000 per year will be given as minimum income to poor families, benefiting around 25 crore people, if his party is voted to power in Lok Sabha polls, and asserted it will be the “final assault” on poverty.
