Free services will stop if BJP forms govt: AAP

RAJYA Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, on Wednesday, said that if the BJP comes to power in Delhi, all free government schemes, including free electricity and education, will be stopped. The saffron party soon hit back and said that the AAP leader was "misleading" people.

"The Kejriwal-led AAP government has been providing free education, electricity, medicines through mohalla clinics, among other things, to the residents of Delhi. If Kejriwal is not there, all these facilities will be stopped by the BJP," Singh said at a press conference here.

"They (BJP) insult the people of Delhi by calling these things freebies. They say free facilities should not be provided to people," he said, adding that it is for the people to decide the future of the city. Singh also accused the BJP of getting Kejriwal and other AAP leaders jailed and trying to break the party with false corruption charges.
