The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched its 2024 campaign in Punjab with Delhi Chief Minister Arvid Kejriwal joining his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann Singh in launching the doorstep delivery scheme in Punjab, the very same promise that won APP rich political dividends in Delhi, both in the assembly and local elections.
In the new scheme called – “Bhagwant Mann Sarkar Tuhade Dwar,” people of the state will now be able to get 43 different government services, right from issuance of birth, marriage, and death registration certificates by just calling helpline numbers from their homes.
This service will not only help make people’s lives easier but also help the state save more than 200 crores by completely getting rid of the logistical costs.
Bhagwant Mann Singh called the launch a “historic” event and stated, “The Aam Aadmi Party has scripted history today. In the days to come, when children will be asked when the problems of the common man having to visit government offices unnecessarily were solved, they will think back to today.”
Taking a jab at the Congress and the BJP, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal commented that AAP has walked the talk on its promises, unlike the previous governments in both states.
Mr Kejriwal said “”We started this scheme in Delhi five years ago. This scheme could have started in Punjab many years ago. What were the governments doing in these states for the last 75 years? They simply lacked the intent to implement these schemes”
