New Delhi [India], January 17 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out at Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday, claiming that the latter has 'openly accepted' that the AAP government is running various welfare schemes for the people.
"BJP has openly accepted that Kejriwal is running many welfare schemes in Delhi which are benefiting the families of BJP members also," a post by Arvind Kejriwal's X account read.


The post further read that the work of AAP is such that even their "opponents praise it."
"We don't know how to do politics, we know how to work. And we do such work that even our opponents praise it," the post added.
His remarks come after the Bharatiya Janata Party's national president and union minister JP Nadda announced the first part of their manifesto, the 'Sankalp Patra.'
The party pledged to roll out new schemes and enhance existing ones to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for the people of Delhi.
Among the major promises, the BJP announced a series of welfare initiatives for women, starting with the provision of six nutritional kits and Rs 21,000 in financial assistance under the Matritva Suraksha Yojana to ensure the health and well-being of pregnant women.
Under the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, the BJP has proposed monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,500 for women in Delhi, aimed at empowering them economically.
Meanwhile, AAP leader Manish Sisodia criticised BJP for not being confident of presenting a Chief Minister candidate.
He also hit back at the BJP with a jibe over their 'AAPda' (calamity) attack and said his party is clearly an "AAPda" (calamity) for them.
"There is an 'Aapda' in front of the BJP regarding who is credible enough to be put up against Arvind Kejriwal, there is no one...what will they give Delhi? In Haryana and UP, it is your govt, tell us if you have improved the schools there," Sisodia told ANI.
The Delhi Assembly elections are going to be held in a single phase on February 5, with counting to be done on February 8. (ANI)
