The party is aggressively campaigning for the upcoming MCD elections in Delhi. Earlier today, Arvind Kejriwal released his party’s manifesto, which they called ‘Kejriwal ki 10 guarantee’ under which AAP chief vowed to clear the garbage mountains from the city and make the MCD completely corruption free.

On Thursday, AAP went big with the election campaign with the inauguration of ‘war room’, which will help them in conducting the nomination process, social media campaigns, among other necessary management activities required for the polls, as informed by AAP’s Delhi unit convenor Gopal Rai. 

Clearing the three garbage mountains across the city, corruption free MCD and complete relief from stray menace forms the backbone of AAP’s manifesto for the MCD elections. Kejriwal refers the 10 guarantees as nothing less than “Fevical ka jod” and aim to present a blueprint to make Delhi the “best global city”.

The 250-ward MCD goes to polls on December 4 and the counting of votes will take place on December 7.
