BJP manifesto dangerous for country: Kejriwal
Reacting to the manifesto, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called it “dangerous for the country”.
He alleged that the party plans to shut free education in government schools and dismantle free health services.
“If the BJP comes to power, they will stop free education, end free health facilities and make it difficult for the poor to survive in Delhi. This is a direct attack on the welfare of the common man,” he said.
“The BJP’s Sankalp Patra is a blueprint for closing government schools and Mohalla Clinics, which have been a lifeline for many,” he added.
