New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal has announced that he will provide free electricity across the country, scrap Agnipath scheme for the military, provide 2 crore jobs, and introduce minimum support price (MSP) scheme for farmers if he forms the government after the Lok Sabha elections.

Making these announcements at a press conference in Delhi, Kejriwal further said that his government will also free the Indian territory that has been occupied by China.
Kejriwal, however, stated that it is his guarantees at the moment and he has not discussed then with his coalition partners in the INDIA bloc.
