Highlights

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has emerged as one of the most powerful political parties in India, winning 23 out of 70 seats in the Delhi legislative polls.

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal used a genius marketing strategy to defeat a three-time chief minister and become the Chief Minister (CM) of Delhi.

Although Kejriwal couldn't pass the local Bill, he still became the CM of Delhi again in 2020, with some calling him the 'freebie king of India' and others calling him a 'revolution in the making'.

The AAP made promises to the people of Delhi in six categories: political, welfare and social security, women's security, environment, infrastructure, and economic indicators.

The AAP failed in its main political promise of bringing full statehood for Delhi and passing the local Bill.

In welfare and social security, the AAP has built 783 out of the promised 900 new clinics and 14,000 out of the promised 30,000 new hospital beds.

The AAP has added 20,000 new classrooms and 60 new schools, with a significant increase in education budget.

For women's security, the AAP has deployed 8,000 bus marshals, installed cameras in 96% of buses, and made Delhi the city with the highest number of CCTV cameras per square mile.

The AAP has slashed electricity bills by 50% for consumption up to 400 units, but there are concerns about the sustainability of the subsidy model.

While the AAP promised universal access to clean drinking water, only 251 out of 1,742 unauthorized colonies have received piped water.

The AAP has provided 20,000 liters of free water per household monthly, but overreliance on groundwater due to misuse is leading to depletion of the water table.

The AAP has partially fulfilled its promise of last-mile connectivity for citizens with metro feeder buses, but the metro network is still short of the promised 500 km.

The AAP has been successful in reducing air pollution in Delhi, with fewer days of poor air quality in 2022 compared to previous years.

However, the AAP needs to work on improving sewage treatment as only 71% of Delhi's sewage is currently being treated.

The AAP has performed brilliantly in economic indicators like debt-to-GSDP ratio, interest payments-to-revenue receipts ratio, and fiscal deficit compared to the previous Congress regime.

play02:34

considering factors like life expectancy

play03:54

report card and while we discuss the

play03:56

most important promises in the video I

play03:58

am attaching a document with all of the

play04:00

promises and their status in the

play04:02

description so read the document and

play04:04

form your own opinion on the basis of

play04:05

data and not propaganda to simplify

play04:08

things I have categorized the most

play04:10

important promises into six categories

play04:12

political welfare and Social Security

play04:15

women security environment

play04:17

infrastructure and economic indicators

play04:20

so let's start with the political

play04:21

promises first in political promises the

play04:23

Amad party promised to bring full statud

play04:25

for Delhi and promised to pass the loal

play04:28

bill

play04:32

[Music]

play04:43

[Music]

play04:50

this was the core reason why arm admy

play04:52

party was founded in the first place so

play04:54

unfortunately the Amad party failed in

play04:56

its main promise because they got stuck

play04:58

in a political battle between the state

play05:00

and the center now if we dig deep into

play05:02

it then we'll get into a political

play05:04

battle case study and we will miss the

play05:05

report card so I will give you all the

play05:08

documents in the description so that you

play05:10

can again read and form your own opinion

play05:13

if this is very very clear to you let's

play05:15

start with the second category which is

play05:16

welfare and Social

play05:18

Security in 2015 and 2019 manifestos the

play05:21

Amad party made some bold promises

play05:24

regarding education and Healthcare

play05:25

revolution in

play05:28

Delhi

play05:33

so the question is how true are these

play05:35

claims well firstly they said that they

play05:38

will create 900 new Primary Health

play05:40

Centers and 30,000 more beds in Delhi

play05:43

hospitals out of which 4,000 were to be

play05:45

in the maternity Wards secondly they

play05:47

said Delhi will abide by the

play05:49

international Norm of five beds for

play05:51

every th000 people so the question is

play05:54

what is the status of these promises

play05:56

well as of 2023 Delhi has in total

play05:59

created created 783 clinics including

play06:01

the armad Malla clinics mahila Malla

play06:04

Clinic allopathy dispensary primary

play06:07

Urban Health Centers and poly clinics so

play06:10

783 out of the 900 clinics have already

play06:13

been built and when it comes to beds

play06:15

14,000 beds have been built as compared

play06:18

to 30,000 beds promised similarly while

play06:21

they promis to increase the number of

play06:22

beds to 5 per th000 people according to

play06:25

a World Health Organization report as of

play06:27

2020 Delhi had two .9 beds per thousand

play06:31

people so because this is a 2020 data I

play06:34

am hoping that from 2020 to 2023 they've

play06:37

added more beds to Delhi so if any op

play06:40

leader is watching this episode please

play06:41

share the updated bed count from a

play06:43

relevant source and we will attach it in

play06:44

the pinned comment then as you can see

play06:47

in this graph Amad party has

play06:48

aggressively spent on Healthcare and

play06:50

this expenditure during the armad party

play06:52

regime has increased at a c year of 20%

play06:55

whereas during the Congress regime it

play06:57

was increasing at just 14% so overall

play07:00

the budget for healthcare is increasing

play07:02

and the government has fulfilled almost

play07:04

50% of its promises and this brings us

play07:07

to the second promise which is education

play07:09

you see in the 2015 Manifesto the Amad

play07:12

party promised to build 500 new schools

play07:14

with a special focus on secondary and

play07:16

Senior secondary schools and their

play07:18

Vision was to ensure that every Delhi

play07:21

child must have easy access to Quality

play07:23

education apart from schools amandi also

play07:26

promised to build 20 new colleges in

play07:28

Delhi and they also envisioned a system

play07:30

where after 12th standard if anyone

play07:32

needs a loan for higher education

play07:35

regardless of their financial background

play07:37

they must be eligible for a loan up to

play07:39

10 lakh Rupees this was to be done under

play07:42

a higher education and skill development

play07:44

guarantee scheme with a government

play07:45

itself being as a guaran now if you look

play07:48

at the percentage of these promises that

play07:50

have been fulfilled app has not built

play07:52

500 new schools but they've added 20,000

play07:55

new classrooms and built 60 new schools

play07:57

so they say that 20 ,000 classrooms is

play08:00

equivalent to 500 schools and if you

play08:03

look at the student classroom ratio it

play08:05

has drastically improved from 1 is to 66

play08:08

to one classroom per 45 students and

play08:11

just like healthcare the education

play08:12

budget has increased at a c year of 22%

play08:15

during the first term as compared to

play08:17

just 13% during the Congress regime this

play08:20

says that AB is investing very heavily

play08:22

into healthc care and education and this

play08:24

is a great thing this is the status of

play08:27

the claims made by the Amad party for

play08:28

health and education apart from this the

play08:31

Delhi government also promised TI yatras

play08:33

and several other welfare schemes I will

play08:34

attach the list of these schemes in the

play08:36

description and then you can decide

play08:38

whether such schemes are needed or they

play08:40

can be called as freebies but anyways

play08:42

let's move on to the next major section

play08:44

which is women safety and unfortunately

play08:46

the capital of our country is one of the

play08:49

most terrible places for women so the

play08:51

question is what has the amany party

play08:53

done to make Delhi safer for women well

play08:57

before that one important thing to note

play08:58

is that the Delhi government does not

play09:01

have full control over the police force

play09:03

so Amad party alone is not responsible

play09:06

for the security of women in Delhi even

play09:09

though central government is responsible

play09:10

for this but nonetheless the Amad party

play09:13

promised to set up 10,000 mahila suraka

play09:15

D or women protection Force along with

play09:18

5,000 bus Marshals to prevent harassment

play09:20

on the streets of Delhi secondly they

play09:23

promis to give SOS emergency system on

play09:25

all the phones and this is something

play09:27

that the women can use in times of

play09:29

emergency and lastly they promised cctvs

play09:32

on roadsides and buses to cover most of

play09:35

Delhi so more Force SOS system and more

play09:38

surveillance these were the promises

play09:40

made by the amandi party if this is

play09:42

clear let's check the status of these

play09:44

promises as it turns out the Ami party

play09:46

has managed to deploy 8,000 bus Marshals

play09:49

cameras have been installed in 96% of

play09:51

the buses and today Del is ranked first

play09:54

in terms of the number of cameras per

play09:56

square mile this is because Delhi today

play09:59

today has 1,826 point6 CCTV cameras per

play10:03

square mile plus they've also started

play10:05

schemes to have proper Street Lighting

play10:07

in parts of Delhi so that women feel

play10:10

safer so in spite of not having complete

play10:13

control over the police the armad party

play10:15

has done everything in their capacity to

play10:17

make Delhi safer for women so for this I

play10:20

will give them 100% credit but you know

play10:23

what guys in spite of all these efforts

play10:25

India's capital Delhi is still the most

play10:27

unsafe City for women even today Delhi

play10:30

is number one in India when it comes to

play10:32

the rate of FIS for crimes against women

play10:34

in 2022 and out of all the cctvs

play10:37

installed on any given day 10% remain

play10:39

offline due to multiple reasons this is

play10:42

a status of women's Security in Delhi

play10:44

and what the amandi party has done to

play10:46

improve women's safety in Delhi if this

play10:49

is very very clear to you let's move to

play10:50

the next category and that is

play10:52

infrastructure to simplify this section

play10:54

I have divided infrastructure into three

play10:55

major categories electricity water and

play10:58

public transport so let's start with

play11:00

electricity the Amad party made a

play11:02

commitment to the people of Delhi that

play11:04

they would slash the electricity bills

play11:06

by

play11:17

50% and guess what they've actually

play11:20

delivered on their promise Delhi

play11:22

residents now enjoy a zero power bill up

play11:24

to 200 units and those consuming 200 to

play11:27

400 units per month get a 50% off CED at

play11:30

850 rupees but the catch over here is

play11:33

that there are two issues with this

play11:34

subsidy number one as it turns out

play11:37

although a lot of poor people are

play11:38

benefiting because they consume less

play11:40

than 200 units a lot of middleclass

play11:42

people who do not need the subsidy are

play11:44

also benefiting due to a 50% discount

play11:47

between 200 to 400 unit consumption now

play11:50

you might say bro so what if middle

play11:52

class people are benefiting are you

play11:54

anti- middle class no guys I am not

play11:56

anti- middle class it's just that when

play11:58

people people who can afford to pay

play12:00

their bills get benefited then the

play12:02

taxpayers money which is again middle

play12:03

class money goes into less useful things

play12:06

like subsidizing the electricity bill

play12:08

than more important things like Building

play12:09

Bridges and Roads secondly the

play12:12

electricity Distributors which are known

play12:14

as discoms they had to First give these

play12:17

discounts to the consumers and then get

play12:19

reimbursements from the government but

play12:22

because most of the time the government

play12:23

was not able to reimburse the subsidy

play12:25

amount on time now these discoms are

play12:28

facing fincial problems so people are

play12:30

happy but the system is not sustainable

play12:32

in the long run as of now and this

play12:35

brings us to The Last Promise in the

play12:36

electricity segment which is the promise

play12:38

that AP made to transform Delhi into a

play12:41

Solar City so if you see their target

play12:44

the ambition was to meet 20% of delhi's

play12:46

energy needs through solar power by 2025

play12:49

however as of 2023 solar energy only

play12:53

contributes 9% of delhi's total energy

play12:56

needs so it's quite difficult for them

play12:58

to achieve 20% by 2025 but even then

play13:00

it's not right to comment on this until

play13:03

2025 comes in so we will wait for

play13:06

2025 but in conclusion while there have

play13:08

been commendable efforts in reducing

play13:10

electricity bills there are areas where

play13:12

AR needs to improve its execution if

play13:15

this is clear then let's move on to the

play13:17

second issue under infrastructure and

play13:18

that is water the first promise that op

play13:21

made was to provide water as a

play13:23

fundamental right with the aim of

play13:25

universal access to clean drinking water

play13:27

for all t residents and their ambition

play13:30

was to cover all parts of the city

play13:32

irrespective of their legal status which

play13:34

means even unauthorized colonies should

play13:37

get water but if you look at the status

play13:39

it's not so good in spite of Delhi

play13:41

requiring 3.3 billion lers of water per

play13:44

day The Government Can Only Supply 2.34

play13:47

billion lers per day furthermore out of

play13:50

the 1,742 unauthorized colonies only 251

play13:54

have received piped water now this

play13:56

shortfall says that there is

play13:57

considerable Gap in achieving Universal

play13:59

Water Access So This Promise has not

play14:02

been fulfilled and if you're wondering

play14:03

whether it is right to provide water

play14:05

access to Illegal colonies I must tell

play14:07

you that I am in no position to tell you

play14:10

whether providing access to clean water

play14:11

to poor people is important or the

play14:13

legality of residence is important to me

play14:15

this is a major conflict between

play14:17

humanity and legality so as citizens of

play14:20

Delhi you take a call on that if this is

play14:22

clear let's move on to the second

play14:23

promise in the water section you see

play14:25

amadi party also vote to provide each

play14:27

household with up to 20 ,000 L of free

play14:30

water monthly and this ambitious goal

play14:32

has surprisingly been fulfilled the only

play14:34

catch over here is that a lot of people

play14:36

are misusing this Supply because of

play14:38

which water is not reaching all housing

play14:41

societies so while the aim of the scheme

play14:43

was to reduce consumption by offering

play14:45

free water up to a certain limit what

play14:47

people are doing is that after using

play14:49

free 20,000 L that they get the

play14:52

societies are drawing up groundw in huge

play14:54

quantities to meet their additional

play14:56

requirements so this over Reliance on

play14:58

groundw water is leading to a

play14:59

significant depletion of the water table

play15:02

in Delhi and I don't know if you know

play15:03

this but delhi's groundwater condition

play15:05

is not at all good so if this continues

play15:08

for a long time Delhi might face a Water

play15:11

Crisis this is the state of armad

play15:14

party's promises with water in Delhi and

play15:17

this brings us to the last set of

play15:18

promises in infrastructure which is

play15:20

public transport in this firstly our

play15:23

promise to turn Delhi metro into the

play15:24

world's largest metro Network by

play15:26

increasing the network to more than 5 00

play15:29

km but as of today the total length of

play15:32

the Metro Network in Delhi is only 392

play15:34

km secondly they promised last M

play15:36

connectivity for Citizens with Metro

play15:38

stations with feeder buses and E AOS and

play15:41

as of 2022 85 such buses are already

play15:44

running and E Autos are coming in the

play15:45

near future So This Promise has been

play15:48

partially fulfilled this is what

play15:49

completes our analysis of the amadi

play15:51

party for infrastructure in Delhi and

play15:54

this brings us to the next segment which

play15:55

is environment and we all know why it is

play15:58

absolutely Ely critical for Delhi it's

play15:59

one of the world's most polluted cities

play16:02

India's capital Delhi especially this is

play16:04

really dangerous to newborns first of

play16:05

all and secondly to malnourish I

play16:08

definitely feel this is a sort of a

play16:09

medical emergency pollution tends to

play16:11

increase with the onset of winter and

play16:13

this is what Deli looks like a day after

play16:16

Diwali even through this mask the air

play16:19

already smells burnt and it tastes

play16:21

metallic delhi's air quality is worse in

play16:24

the morning and evening during winter

play16:25

months now we all know that Delhi is one

play16:28

one of the most polluted cities in the

play16:30

world while the air pollution is killing

play16:32

the lungs of Delhi residents the

play16:33

condition of yamuna river is so bad that

play16:36

its water is unfit for drinking so the

play16:39

question over here is what did the am

play16:41

ADI party government do to solve this

play16:43

problem well one of the key Promises of

play16:45

the amanii party was to revive the

play16:47

yamuna river which is the lifeline of

play16:49

Delhi and you would be shocked to know

play16:51

that the seage of Delhi directly flows

play16:54

into yamuna without any treatment this

play16:57

is the reason why the Ami party promised

play17:00

100% collection and treatment of Delhi

play17:02

sewage with new seage treatment plants

play17:05

or

play17:06

stps so the question over here is what

play17:09

is the condition of SE treatment in

play17:11

Delhi well unfortunately the city

play17:13

generates 792 million gallons of seage

play17:17

per day but the existing stbs can only

play17:19

treat 667 million gallons per day but

play17:23

the problem is that this 667 million is

play17:26

also 100% capacity and these plants are

play17:29

currently operating at just 71% capacity

play17:32

so out of the 792 million gallons of

play17:34

seage only 565 million are being treated

play17:38

and the rest 227 million gallons are

play17:41

going directly into the yamuna river and

play17:44

that to completely untreated so this is

play17:46

where the armad party needs to level up

play17:49

very very urgently similarly the armad

play17:52

party also promised to improve Waste

play17:53

Management in Delhi but as of now only

play17:55

30% of delhi's waste is segregated at so

play17:58

source and lastly the Amad party

play18:00

promised to reduce the air pollution in

play18:02

Delhi by 33% and fortunately they've

play18:04

been successful in this in 20122 Delhi

play18:07

experienced 206 days with air quality

play18:10

outside the poor category Which is less

play18:12

than 2011 aqi whereas in 2015 only for

play18:16

109 days delhi's air quality was below

play18:19

200 so in summary with water the

play18:21

government has not been so successful

play18:23

but with air pollution the government

play18:25

has been successful but the point to be

play18:27

noted over here is that II is still a

play18:29

toxic gas chamber which needs to improve

play18:31

its air quality index by a large large

play18:34

large extent so amadm party or whichever

play18:37

party comes to power they need to keep

play18:38

working on this until we achieve a

play18:40

consistent aqi of below 100 if this is

play18:43

very very clear to you let's move on to

play18:45

the last and final category and that is

play18:47

economic indicators now the point to be

play18:50

noted over here before we dwell deep

play18:51

into economic indicators is that we

play18:54

cannot compare delhi's numbers with

play18:56

other states so we thought it is better

play18:57

to compare compare the economic

play18:59

indicators of Delhi under Congress

play19:01

versus am ADI party because that is the

play19:03

closest we can come to a fair comparison

play19:05

so we are taking three major indicators

play19:07

to check how the armi party government

play19:09

has performed economically these

play19:11

indicators are debt to gsdp ratio

play19:13

interest payments to revenue receipts

play19:15

and fiscal deficit let's start with debt

play19:18

during the Congress regime in 2011 and

play19:20

12 the state government had an

play19:22

outstanding debt of

play19:24

29,6 CR rupees which was equal to 8.62%

play19:28

% of the Gross State domestic product

play19:31

and on the other hand as of 2022 delhi's

play19:34

outstanding debt stood at

play19:36

41,48 1.5 crores which is equal to just

play19:40

4.59% of his Gross State domestic

play19:43

product now I don't know if you realize

play19:45

this but in spite of giving freebies

play19:48

this is an outstanding economic

play19:49

indicator then we looked at interest

play19:51

payments to revenue receipts which means

play19:53

we checked how much of the state's

play19:55

revenue is actually going into interest

play19:57

payments so if if the government has to

play19:59

pay a lot of its Revenue in interest to

play20:00

the banks it means that the government

play20:03

is bleeding due to past debts and it is

play20:05

not able to get enough money to invest

play20:07

in future projects now if you look at

play20:09

the interest payments to revenue

play20:10

receipts ratio between Congress and Amad

play20:12

party you will see that the ratio

play20:14

declined from

play20:16

13.03% to just 6.64% from 2011 to 2022

play20:22

and this is some brilliant work done by

play20:24

the Amad party government and lastly as

play20:27

per the CAG report delhi's financial

play20:29

situation actually saw quite a

play20:31

turnaround back in 201314 there was a

play20:34

fiscal deficit of about 3,942 crores

play20:37

which means the government was spending

play20:40

3,942 crores more than it was earning in

play20:43

tax and non- tax revenue but fast

play20:45

forward to 201718 Delhi actually had a

play20:48

fiscal surplus of 113 crores and all of

play20:52

this happened during the time of the

play20:53

amadm party so without a doubt the Amad

play20:56

party has performed brilliant ly as

play20:58

compared to Congress this was the

play21:00

performance review of the Amad party for

play21:02

Delhi for the last 9 years and as usual

play21:05

instead of giving you my own opinion and

play21:07

clouding you with my bias I want you to

play21:10

read through the documents that have

play21:11

attached below and you tell me in the

play21:15

has performed in Delhi and if you live

play21:17
