Eye on assembly elections
Delhi Assembly elections are likely to be held in early 2025. These promises made by the AAP government are considered to be part of the election strategy. Opposition parties are criticizing these announcements by calling them ‘raving culture’. Also, with Arvind Kejriwal’s name coming up in the liquor scam, it will be interesting to see how the public reacts to these schemes.
