Aam Aadmi Party Manifesto: "Kejriwal ki Guarantee" short manifesto released, full version to be out in 10 days

<ul><li>On Sunday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) election manifesto called 'Kejriwal ki Guarantee'.</li><li>The manifesto includes regularising Delhi's unauthorised colonies with a promise to provide facilities like drinking water and sanitation.</li><li>Over the past month, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been drumming to its own tune putting up hoardings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi outside unauthorised colonies asking them to sign up for the Pradhan Manti Awas Yojana which promises permanent housing.</li></ul> Delhi’s chief minister Arvind Kejriwal released the election manifesto of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) — named after himself — ‘Kejriwal ki Guarantee’ on Sunday. For the 2020 election, Kejriwal’s ‘<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/politics/elections/news/aap-manifesto-kejriwal-ka-guarantee-card-released-know-all-points/articleshow/73373498.cms?src=hp_latest">guarantee card</a>’ promises to deliver on 10 points of action, which include around-the-clock electricity and water, ‘world-class’ education system, better more public transportation and making Delhi litter-free. It also has a specific impetus on unauthorised colonies or jhuggi jhopri (JJ) colonies. He Kejriwal promises facilities like drinking water, sanitation, roads and infrastructure, mohalla clinics and CCTV cameras - once they are legalised. His promise to citizens living in authorised colonies is pitched against the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) recent bill that plans to regularise over 1,700 slums and build over 2 lakh homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (PMAY). In addition, BJP candidate Manoj Tiwari has also been making the headlines for ‘<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/assembly-elections/delhi/we-will-offer-5-times-more-subsidy-than-aap-manoj-tiwari/articleshow/73361360.cms">silently</a>’ working towards helping people in these communities. Out of Delhi’s 70 assembly segments, slum-dwellers hold the decisive vote in nearly 28, according to a <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/bjp-eyes-slum-vote-bank-leaders-told-to-stay-there/articleshow/68472349.cms">senior BJP leader</a>. During the last Delhi Election in 2015, AAP was able to garner 95% of those votes — not to mention winning 67 of the 70 seats. Hoardings all over Delhi Many claims that the bill to regularise Delhi’s unauthorised colonies was passed in Parliament suspiciously close to the election. Since December, the central government has been pushing hard to get people to sign up for homes under PMAY.

 According to a report by PTI, the BJP’s Delhi chapter has started putting up large hoardings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi across colonies to win them over. Each hoarding has a larger-than-life picture of Modi with the slogan, “Jahan jhuggi wahin makan,” which roughly translates to, “a house in place of a hut.” The scheme promises a two-bedroom house with water, electricity and waste management connections. "We have a target to put up large hoardings of the PMAY in 700 JJ clusters in the city, where around 20 lakh people live," Delhi BJP JJ Cluster Cell president Umesh Verma told PTI. Ownership certificates Countering the Bill passed by the central government, Kejriwal launched the Mukhyamantrai Awas Yojan (MMAY). On the day of the launch, he distributed 65,000 ownership certificates to families currently living in JJ colonies promising pucca houses. However, according to the Union Ministry, Kejriwal has been holding back on funds. Union Minister <a href="https://www.dailypioneer.com/2019/india/centre-plans-2l-houses-under-pmay-u-.html">Hardeep Puri</a> claims that AAP received part payment of ₹5.85 lakh in September 2018 to undertake a survey of 23 priority JJ clusters but did not complete the task. Why BJP wants to win the 2020 Delhi election The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been out of power in Delhi for over two decades. Since 1998, Delhi has been a Congress stronghold. In 2012, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) rose to power after Anna Hazare’s India Against Corruption (IAC) movement. Despite the AAP’s historic win in 2015 — winning 67 of Delhi’s 70 Assembly seats — they lost in every single constituency during the Lok Sabha election last year to the BJP. In order for the BJP to win the 2020 Delhi election, AAP’s would have to lose in nearly the half the constituencies where it’s currently in power. <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/elections/delhi-assembly-polls-2020/story/delhi-assembly-election-what-is-at-stake-for-arvind-kerjiwal-pm-modi-and-rahul-gandhi-1634678-2020-01-07?utm_source=recengine&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;referral=yes&amp;utm_content=footerstrip-1">Political pundits</a> believe this election will be AAP’s report card on their performance in Delhi over the last five years while BJP’s win will largely rest on Modi’s popularity. BJP is using its star power with Manoj Tiwari and has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/politics/elections/news/delhi-election-2020-aaps-raghav-chadha-will-have-to-win-the-poorvanchali-vote-in-rajinder-nagar/articleshow/73274750.cms">plans to feature</a> more Bhojpuri stars, union ministers and MPs from Poorvanchal — home to over 40% Delhi migrants — on its ballot to reign in the vote bank that includes over 4 million voters.

With Tesla's market capitalization at nearly $150 billion — it's worth more than General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles combined — this isn't an issue, and Musk recently qualified for the first tranche of a big equity payday that the Tesla board approved several years ago. It adds up to a billion in stock, but don't expect Musk to turn it into cash. He has rarely been a seller; more often, he borrows more money to buy additional shares.There's been some speculation that Musk, who has been essentially broke in the past, is unloading some of his homes in Los Angeles and San Francisco to raise money. He says that isn't the case, and that what he really wants to do is lighten his burdens, possibly because he and his companion, the musician Claire Elise Boucher, better known by her stage name, Grimes, just had a child together. Even if Musk is trying to deleverage his personal balance sheet a bit, he's not exactly marketing liquid assets; multimillion-dollar mansions in California can take years to sell, if they sell at all.<h2>A walking, talking wealth paradox</h2><div type="image" title="Elon Musk Grimes" height="1994" width="3000" msid="75638704" hostid="261"></div>What Musk embodies is actually a walking, talking wealth paradox: so rich on paper, but kinda not rich in reality. He does have access to a type of "supermoney," to borrow a term from the economist George Goodman, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Supermoney-Adam-Smith/dp/0471786314">who wrote a book with that title in 1972</a>. It isn't legacy stock wealth nor dividend income — which today is taxed at lower rates than regular income — but rather debt that uses his Tesla stake as collateral.It sort of like having a mega-credit-card, or a gigantic home-equity line of credit. Before you get mad, it's worth noting that Musk only has this option because he took the approximately $180 million he made when eBay bought PayPal — cofounded by Musk — in 2002 and sunk all his winnings into Tesla and SpaceX, at the time considered to be monumentally risky investments. Musk's view was that he had a chance to move the needle on global warming with Tesla — electric vehicles emit no greenhouse gases — and also pursue a "back-up the biosphere" plan for Earth by using SpaceX as a way to colonize Mars, making humanity "multiplanetary," in his words.Skeptical? Fine. But space exploration had previously required the resources of large nations, while the received wisdom in the auto industry, pre-Tesla, was that starting a new car company was impossible. Musk couldn't have picked two better ways to lose all his money.Which he essentially did with Tesla in 2008; only some eleventh-hour financing, a US Department of Energy loan guarantee, and equity stakes from Daimler and Toyota enabled the company to avoid bankruptcy and build its first all-original vehicle, the Model S sedan. And it wasn't ka-ching after that: Tesla raised just $220 million from its 2010 IPO, and the stock price was flat for several years after that.<h2>Limited enthusiasm for rich-people stuff</h2><div type="image" title="Elon Musk" height="1275" width="2000" msid="75638705" hostid="261"></div>Musk has shown some affection for rich-people things in the past, including a McLaren supercar (which he wrecked), the James Bond Lotus submarine car, and his aforementioned mansions. But for the past decade, I've tried to figure out what he spends money on, and apart from supporting his large family (six children, including X Æ A-12, his son with Grimes), I've come to the conclusion that he doesn't blow his money on ... anything. He has some cool clothes, but that's hardly an extravagant outlay. He drives Tesla vehicles. He sent his personal original Roadster into orbit, so goodbye to that museum piece! He tweets a lot, so he probably owns the latest iPhone. I think he plays video games, so ... an Xbox and a flat-screen or two? And he travels quite a bit, using a business jet, but so do mere millionaires. Perplexing as this thought might seem, Musk thinks of money less as a medium of exchange and even less as a store of value; he doesn't even see money as a way to make more money, a standard play of high-net-worth individuals.No, he sees money as a means to an end, and he appreciates its function as a financing tool. To achieve both his grand and futuristic goals and to serve the more mundane but immediately impactful effect of creating 40,000 jobs at Tesla and thousands more at SpaceX.It would appear that he's now doubled down on his money philosophy and is determined to shed any obvious trappings of billionaire-ness. And that isn't at all surprising.Read the original article on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-is-a-billionaire-who-doesnt-care-about-money-2020-5">Business Insider</a>

	Excerpts:
 

	1. In a scale of 1-10, how would you grade your government?
 

	It is for the people of this country to grade and evaluate us. How can I take away their right? I have presented my report card to the country. Recently, media has published the findings of some surveys. You would already have seen them. I can only say that we have laid a solid foundation on which the people can rate us.
 

	2. You came in with the promise of 'Acche Din.' Have you been able to meet the goals that you set for yourself in the first year of the government?
 

	Yes. I am fully satisfied with the work that we have done. The most satisfying part of this year is that we have lived up to the promise that our intentions will be pure and our actions will be driven by long-term national interest. Recall the situation one year ago. Massive corruption at various levels of Government gave rise to scams on a regular basis. Our precious natural resources were going into the hands of a chosen few. In contrast, there are neither any charges of corruption against my Government nor any scandals. Corruption was seen as the biggest problem. We have given a clean, transparent and efficient Government. Burey Dino Ki Vidayee Hui hai. (Bad days are over). Is this not Acche Din for the country?
 

	3. What has been the single big success in the past year? 
 

	The achievements and successes of my government are numerous. However, I know that the success of a government's journey lies in reaching the last man. Therefore, our efforts were directed towards the poor and marginalized. We have also paid special attention to remote corners of the country. Our objective is to transform quality of life, infrastructure and services. We have worked simultaneously on all fronts which bring a smile on the face of the common man. I can give you some examples. From controlling food prices to enhancing farm productivity; improving Railways to strengthening Roads; generating electricity to its 24x7 availability; building school toilets to setting up IITs, IIMs and AIIMS; building houses for the homeless to upgrading our heritage cities; cleaning surroundings to bridging the digital divide; making world class products to skilling and employment generation; strengthening the banking system to funding the unfunded; ensuring labour welfare to providing social security to common man; rejuvenating rivers to irrigating fields; from enhancing co-operation with States to deepening foreign relations; we have worked at an energetic pace and with innovative spirit. 
 Bringing back black money was a major electoral promise, but then your party president, <keyword id="6355521" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amit-Shah">Amit Shah</keyword> gave the word 'jumla' to it and Arun Shourie criticized the procedures adopted by the finance ministry. How committed is your government in bringing back black money to India? 

	My Government is fully committed on the issue of Black Money. We want to crack down severely on tax evasion and black money. I had taken up this issue with world leaders during the G-20 summit. In our very first cabinet meeting, we formed an SIT. Then, we presented a new legislation in Parliament which is very stringent. We want to make it more difficult to evade taxes and siphon money abroad. We are also aggressively pursuing cases against those who have stashed funds illegally in foreign banks. Recently the names of some such persons have been revealed. We are also trying to move towards cashless transactions. We want to make maximum use of ICT in our tax administration.
 

	At the same time, we want to remove the discretion which causes corruption and generation of Black Money. Hence, we promulgated ordinances in sectors like coal and mines. It has proved to be a good step. We have generated Rs. 3.30 lakh crore for the country so far through transparent auction of some coal mines. Similar is the case with auction of spectrum. I can say that if your intentions are noble, you are sure to get success and required support.
 

	5. Key bills like the Land Acquisition Bill has got stiff opposition from the opposition. They have been able to create doubts about the government's intention. What do you have to say? 
 

	Opposition to our Land Bill is totally unjustified and unfortunate. We have not made any changes for private industry. Moreover, if you have money, you don't need a Land Acquisition Act to accumulate land. Some individuals have done so in Rajasthan, Haryana, Shimla, Delhi etc. Land acquisition becomes necessary for government-driven strategic and development activities, especially in undeveloped areas. 
 

	This too is done mostly by State Governments. We have made changes only in response to demands of the States. The benefits of these changes will also accrue to the rural poor in terms of irrigation, housing, electrification, as well as better physical and social infrastructure.
 
 

	In this country, the Land Acquisition Act was almost 120 years old. The Congress-led Governments used the same Act after independence. Suddenly, before the last Parliamentary elections, the Congress went to another extreme by legislating an Act which is neither in the interest of farmers nor in the interest of the country's development. 
 

	Now, they are not even ready to sit and discuss. We believe in dialogue with all political parties. I have personally appealed in Parliament that we are ready to open a dialogue with political parties and consider their suggestions. I hope that the parties will cooperate on issues of larger national importance without getting into political calculations. 
 

	6. How are you going to convince the farmers of this country that you mean well?
 

	The proposed Land Acquisition Bill focuses on benefitting the farmer and balancing the long-term interests of the nation. The world is changing fast. Even farmers need canals to irrigate, roads to transfer products from farms to markets. They need hospitals, schools and houses. Farmers want modern amenities in their vicinity and jobs in formal sectors for their sons and daughters. I have always believed that if we want inclusive development, we need amenities. We need to match the development of such amenities with agricultural growth. This is what the Bill strives to do while safeguarding the interests of farmers. Our amendments only aim to do away with the bureaucratic bottlenecks in the 2013 Act. I am sure the farmers of this country will understand where their real welfare lies.
 

	7. Agriculture is in distress in the country. To a large extent the problem is endemic and decades of mismanagement have resulted in the present situation but how does your government plan to stem the tide of farmer suicides and farming stress?
 
 The root causes of the problem find mention in your question itself. This is a very important issue and the Government is concerned about it. We have responded to the recent agrarian crisis with alacrity. We have undertaken several reforms. The <keyword id="6362177" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="union-government">Union Government</keyword> has enhanced the relief norms for compensation against crop loss by 50%. 

	The limit of minimum crop damage, for grant of compensation, has been reduced from 50% to 33%. Norms have been relaxed to allow procurement of damaged food grains at MSP rates. The target of agricultural credit has been enhanced in our two consecutive budgets. 
 

	But as you said, the problem in agriculture is endemic. Nothing much was done for six long decades. But we have started long-term steps for the farm sector. To address the issue of access to irrigation for every farm, and efficient utilization of water, the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) has been started. Blue Revolution which aims to improve production and productivity in the fisheries sector is also an action point. We have launched the soil health card scheme. The price stabilization fund with a corpus of Rs. 500 crores has also been set up for perishable commodities. Rashtriya Gokul Mission has been commenced with the objective of conserving and developing indigenous cattle breeds. We have made honest and sincere efforts for rural development. I have recently launched the Kisan Channel for giving timely information to farmers on inputs and markets. In the coming days, I would like to see more focused action on increasing Farm Productivity; Rural Industrialization; Skill Development in rural areas and rural trades, and faster Investments in Rural Infrastructure including cold chain.
 

	8. The opposition has termed your government as suit boot ki sarkar. What is your take on this allegation? 
 

	Suit-boot is definitely more acceptable than suitcase. After ruling for sixty years, the Congress has suddenly remembered the poor. People of this country have suffered and remained poor due to shortsighted policies of the Congress. Many countries of the world have surpassed us on all accounts including poverty removal. Congress did incremental work so as to keep the issue relevant for next election. Did the coal and spectrum scandals or the CWG fiasco benefit the poor? Everyone knows who were their beneficiaries - some chosen industrialists and contractors. The result of Congress's politics and governance of sixty years is that poverty is still our biggest challenge. One-fourth of the families are without shelter. Health, education, water, electricity and roads are even bigger unrealised dreams for a large number of citizens of this country. You should ask them- If you were pro-poor, why does poverty still exist in India?"
 

	9. Opposition says that your government is pro-industrialists.
 

	Those who gave away precious natural resources like coal and spectrum to their favourite industrialists have no right to say this. We are working for the common man of the country. 
 
 
 
 

	We implemented the Jan Dhan scheme and opened more than 14 crore bank accounts for financial inclusion. Earlier also, there were banks, as well as people without bank accounts. What did they do all these years?
 

	The so called pro-poor have been just repeating that there is leakage in subsidy. We used technology to ensure that LPG subsidy reaches the targeted person directly; We have launched MUDRA Bank for financing 6 crore small vendors and businesses 61% of whom are SCs, STs, OBCs and Minorities; We have launched the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana which the Congress did not think of in sixty years; We have planned to see that by 2022, no family remains without a roof over its head; The Soil Health Card scheme has been launched to enhance farm productivity and reduce expenses, thereby enhancing the farmer's income. 
 

	We have come out with a comprehensive social security scheme for the poor and marginalised, old and those with low income levels; Swachh Bharat Mission has been started to see that health and hygiene issues of the poor do not affect the working capacity and output of the poor and labourers; Railways, on which the common man travels, is being changed for the better.
 

	We have set up the Skill Development Ministry to enhance employability of the youth to whom we are committed to provide jobs through initiatives like 'Make in India'. In the past, the country had been led into an economy of jobless growth.
 

	We provided for reservation of women in the police forces of Union Territories. This was done even when there were no elections around the corner. 
 

	Through the regime of coal auction that we have put in place, more than Rs. three lakh crore have already been generated for the less-developed states of India. This money will be used for the poor of those states.
 
 These are just a few examples. Why were these things not done in the past sixty years. Who prevented them? Their worry is not that we are not pro-poor. Their worry is that they are being exposed as not being pro-poor. People are asking them: "If <keyword id="6360789" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Modi-Government">Modi Government</keyword> can think and do this in six to nine months, why could you not think and do it in sixty years." 

	10. You have travelled to 17 countries in 12 months...something that nobody expected you to do as you were seen as a novice on foreign policy matters. But you seem to enjoy running the country's foreign policy. Any comments? 
 

	Foreign engagements are international obligations on the part of the Prime Minister. All Prime Ministers have to do this. Moreover, this is an integrated world. We have to attend international, multilateral and bilateral summits, and build ties with our neighbours and other nations. Our foreign policy is mature and there is a full-fledged mechanism to pursue it. I have only added an element of dynamism to it. We have strived to strongly further our economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region. We have endeavoured to nurture new economic partnerships and tap reserves of energy, minerals, technology and finance from major economies.
 
 11. In real terms, do you see that the Chinese will actually deliver on the financial pledge they have done, that the US will open up its markets for India, that Pakistan will give up its anti-India agenda? That our smaller neighbours will stop seeing us as a bully? Yes, I am sure that the commitments and agreements will be implemented. We have received a commitment from the Government of <keyword id="6355311" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Japan">Japan</keyword> for facilitating public and private funding of 3.5 trillion Yen - or approximately $35 billion dollars - over the next five years; there are agreements with China on two industrial parks and intended investments of 20 billion US dollars; there are investment plans of about 42 billion U.S. dollars from U.S. companies over the next five years. <keyword id="6358826" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Russia">Russia</keyword> has proposed to manufacture helicopters in India. With Australia and Canada, we have signed civil nuclear cooperation agreements, and other agreements to strengthen our energy security. With the United States, we have moved forward in implementation of the civil nuclear agreement and signed a significant partnership agreement to use renewable energy for rapidly expanding rural access to energy. There has been good response from financial institutions, including pension funds from Korea, Canada, Australia and the US. There is a strong support in all major economies for our "Make in India" programme. 

	In the neighbourhood, there has been forward movement on the 5600 MW Pancheshwar project in Nepal, that was stuck for the last 25 years. Similarly, with Bangladesh we have settled the land boundary issue. We are working with a spirit of mutual benefit. There is no question of bullying anyone. Our recent help to Nepal during the natural calamity shows that our approach is brotherly. With Pakistan too, we will pursue our long-standing approach. We will continue our efforts to advance cooperation and connectivity, without compromising our national security. 
 

	12. If we were to return to domestic issues, you have come for criticism from many for not being able to reign in vitriolic elements in your party who have made disparaging remarks against minorities. What do you say? 
 

	Our Constitution guarantees religious freedom to every citizen and that is not negotiable. The tradition of welcoming, respecting and honouring all faiths is as old as India itself. As Swami Vivekananda said: We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. This principle of equal respect and treatment for all faiths has been a part of India's ethos for thousands of years. And that is how it became integral to the Constitution of India. Our Constitution did not evolve in a vacuum. It has roots in the ancient cultural traditions of India. I expect that everyone will understand and respect this.
 

	13. Why do some elements in your party feel emboldened to say awful things even though they ought to know that a Prime Minister of India cannot really support bigots in his cabinet? 
 

	I have said this before and I say it again: any discrimination or violence against any community will not be tolerated. My position on this is very clear: Sab ka saath, sab ka vikas. We stand for each of the 1.25 billion Indians regardless of caste or creed and we will work for the progress of each of them. Every faith in our country has equal rights; it is equal not only before the law but also before society.
