AAP game plan remains hazy, question mark hangs over govt's populist schemes
The Morning Standard|September 16, 2024
CHIEF Minister Arvind Kejriwal's unexpected announcement on Friday took everyone to 2014 when he quit as the CM after running a coalition government with Congress for 49 days over alleged differences in passing the Lokpal Bill.
AAP game plan remains hazy, question mark hangs over govt's populist schemes

Kejriwal, who was released on bail from Tihar on Friday in the excise policy case, said, "I will sit in the CM's chair after people give me a certificate of honesty. I want to give 'agnipariksha' after coming out of jail." Be that as it may, the political talk about the timing of his exit decision has come under intense scrutiny.

Sources say the ruling AAP is keen to launch ‘Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana,' a scheme to provide a monthly honorarium of ₹1,000 to women over 18 ahead of assembly elections due early next year.

Other schemes in the pipeline include EV Policy 2.0, doorstep service delivery, and the Delhi Solar Policy, as well as projects such as Mohalla and premium buses, and the inauguration of new school buildings.
