Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday claimed that even BJP supporters are saving up to Rs 25,000 per month through the schemes implemented by the AAP government in Delhi, and urged them to vote for his party in the February 5 Assembly elections. In a video message, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor claimed that he spoke to a BJP supporter, and questioned the benefits being provided in the BJP-ruled states. "I asked him, where would you go if the BJP comes to power? How many BJP-ruled states have good government schools? In how many BJP-ruled states is electricity free and available round the clock? Vote for yourself and press the button of 'Jhaadu' (broom)," Kejriwal said, referring to the party symbol. Claiming that under AAP, an average family in Delhi saves around Rs 25,000 per month on account of free electricity, water, quality education and healthcare services, Kejriwal warned that these savings would be at risk if the BJP comes to power. On Friday, the AAP chief launched a 'Bachat .
