In a major pre-election announcement for the Delhi Elections 2024, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal announced many welfare programs for Delhi’s drivers, including an insurance policy worth Rs 10 lakh. In the Kondli constituency, he visited the home of auto driver Navneet and had dinner with the family while making this announcement.
Delhi Elections 2024: AAP’s Efforts to Support Auto Drivers
Kejriwal spoke at the meeting, highlighting the advancements under AAP governance and the mistreatment of car drivers under Congress rule. “Our goal has been to make their lives easier,” he said, reaffirming his dedication to helping this important population in Delhi.
Kejriwal’s Commitment to Auto Drivers’ Welfare.
Kejriwal went on to declare, “Today, I have consumed the salt of auto drivers,” demonstrating his commitment to their well-being. AAP’s continuous efforts to raise their standard of living as the Delhi Elections 2024 draw near were reiterated in this statement.
Kejriwal Announces Five Key Guarantees for Auto Drivers Ahead of Delhi Elections 2024.
1. Marriage Assistance for Auto Drivers’ Families
A marriage assistance program of Rs 1 lakh was also introduced by Kejriwal to help auto drivers’ daughters get married. This program seeks to alleviate the financial strain on drivers by offering cash support for significant life milestones. This action appeals to families who have long been burdened by the expense of marriage celebrations.
2. Uniform Allowance to Support Auto Drivers
The Delhi government will also give drivers a uniform allowance, which will be transferred to their accounts twice a year at a rate of Rs 2,500. Through this program, vehicle drivers will be able to afford to keep up their uniforms, projecting a neater, more polished image while on the job. This gesture aims to help their fundamental necessities and enhance their standard of living.
3. Educational Support for Auto Drivers’ Children
The AAP’s dedication to auto drivers was further evidenced when Kejriwal pledged government-sponsored coaching for the kids of drivers. Children of drivers will have more access to educational possibilities thanks to this support, enabling them to follow their dreams. By making investments in the next generation, the initiative seeks to improve entire families.
4. Relaunching the PoochhO App for Seamless Ride Booking
The PoochhO app’s relaunch, which will improve the auto ride booking experience, was another significant announcement. The app makes it simpler for customers to book trips straight from their phones by giving them access to a database of registered car drivers’ mobile numbers. It is anticipated that this initiative will simplify the booking process for both drivers and passengers.
5. AAP’s Strategy for Delhi Elections and Auto Driver Support
AAP’s larger plan to strengthen its base of support among Delhi’s drivers is thought to include this announcement. Ahead of the Delhi Elections, Kejriwal’s welfare initiatives are intended to fortify the party’s bond with its historically loyal support base of drivers. The AAP, BJP, and Congress will face off in the 70-member Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February of next year. The AAP is putting a lot of effort into holding onto power for a third consecutive term.
BJP vs AAP: Key Contestants in Delhi Elections 2024
The AAP is specifically blamed by the BJP for the continued pollution problem and is accused of extensive corruption, poor administration, and poor governance in Delhi. The opposition party asserts that the AAP’s policies have a direct influence on the quality of life of its constituents by failing to address important concerns including infrastructure, healthcare, and pollution.
The BJP has responded by introducing its new catchphrase, “ab nahi sahenge, badal kar rahenge” (we will bring about change, we will no longer put up with this). In the forthcoming elections, the phrase positions the BJP as a party of reform and change, indicating its intention to oppose the AAP’s rule.
