The Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener on Saturday continued his defence of welfare schemes against the criticism of political parties offering “freebies” or what Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently termed the “revadi culture”.
He asked what’s wrong in providing “free education and healthcare services” to the citizens since it is the government’s mandate to provide such facilities to the taxpaying public. “What’s better, the government providing free education and health or waiving loans of certain corporates?” he said during an interaction with traders and businessmen in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
Mr. Kejriwal is on a two-day tour of the State as part of the campaign for the Assembly poll in December.
