Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal claimed even Bharatiya Janata Party workers in Delhi are reaping the benefits of the party’s regime and claimed they are saving Rs 25,000 per month.
In a video message, Kejriwal urged the BJP workers to vote for his party in the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls. Kejriwal claimed he recently spoke with a BJP supporter and asked him about benefits he received under the AAP regime and the benefits provided in BJP-ruled states.

"I asked him, where would you go if the BJP comes to power? How many BJP-ruled states have good government schools? In how many BJP-ruled states is electricity free and available round the clock? Vote for yourself and press the button of 'Jhaadu' (broom)," Kejriwal claimed.
The former Delhi chief minister claimed an average family in Delhi saves around Rs 25,000 per month on account of free electricity, water, quality education and healthcare services, Kejriwal said in the video. The AAP leader said the BJP would suspend the schemes if it comes to power in the national capital.
AAP launched 'Bachat Patra' campaign on Friday to highlight its welfare schemes in the national capital. "People can note how much they are saving through our free welfare initiatives," PTI reported quoting Kejriwal.

Kejriwal claimed the new welfare schemes announced by the party in the poll manifesto will add another Rs 10,000 to the monthly savings of Delhites. "This will take the total monthly savings to Rs 35,000, provided the voters again choose AAP by pressing the Jjhaadu' button," he said.
In the manifesto, AAP has announced free healthcare for the elderly, free bus rides for students with 50 per cent concession on Metro fares, monthly assistance for women, incentives for priests at temples and gurudwaras and various other welfare schemes.
Delhi will go to polls on February 5, and the results will be out on February 8. AAP, which won 62 of 70 seats in the 2020 Assembly election is seeking a third consecutive term.
