Ahead of the Delhi Assembly election, the Aam Aadmi Party released a new seven-point manifesto for the middle class. The manifesto was released by party chief Arvind Kejriwal, who also presented seven. 
Kejriwal said, “We demand that the next Budget of the country be dedicated to the middle class. Today, I am making 7 demands to the central government.” The seven demands were the following:

1. The education budget should be raised to 10% from 2%, and private school fees should be capped.

2. Subsidies and scholarships should be provided for higher education.

3. The health budget should be increased to 10%, and the tax on health insurance should be removed.

4. The income tax exemption limit should be raised to ₹10 lakh from ₹7 lakh.

5. GST should be removed from essential goods.

6. A strong retirement plan and pension schemes should be provided for senior citizens, along with free medical services for them in all government and private hospitals.

7. Senior citizens should receive a 50% concession on rail travel. 

Kejriwal further stated, "We use tax money for education, protected the middle class from inflation, reduced power tariffs, and water bills, and improved infrastructure in government hospitals." The AAP manifesto was released during a news conference on Wednesday morning, where Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and Kejriwal also accused Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ramesh Bidhuri and his associates of engaging in "hooliganism" against AAP workers.

During the press conference, Atishi also raised concerns about the BJP’s actions in the Kalkaji assembly constituency. She accused the party of creating an atmosphere of "terror" and claimed that BJP workers, along with individuals who identified themselves as the nephews of Ramesh Bidhuri, were threatening AAP workers, grabbing them by the collar, and destroying campaign materials, including pamphlets. Atishi urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to intervene.

Kejriwal also joined the press conference and supported Atishi's claims, saying the issues she mentioned were not limited to just one area. He accused the BJP of using violence, saying that parties turn to such tactics when they know they can't win fairly. He predicted that the BJP would face a historic defeat in Delhi. As the election approaches, the rivalry between AAP and BJP continues to heat up. Delhi will vote on February 5, with the results announced on February 8.
