Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced a series of six electoral guarantees for Goa on Friday, outlining the party's platform for the upcoming 2027 state assembly elections. Addressing a public gathering in Panaji, the AAP leader pledged to provide 300 units of free electricity and ensure a round-the-clock power supply for the state's residents. Additionally, the proposal includes a monthly financial assistance scheme of Rs 3,000 for women and the provision of free bus travel services.
Beyond immediate social welfare, the manifesto addresses healthcare and infrastructure needs. Kejriwal promised to implement a health insurance cover of Rs 10 lakh for every family in Goa. To enhance local community facilities, he further guaranteed the development of a dedicated sports ground in every village across the state. Furthermore, the AAP leader stated his commitment to scrapping Section 39-A of the Town and Country Planning (TCP) Act, a legislative provision that has faced significant criticism due to allegations of misuse regarding land conversions.
These announcements follow a period of increased political activity by the Aam Aadmi Party, which is looking to strengthen its presence in Goa. Positioned as a non-BJP and non-Congress alternative, the party has announced a 'Goa First' alliance with the Goa Forward Party (GFP) to contest the 2027 polls. During his recent visit to the state, Kejriwal held extensive consultations with party workers and various local stakeholders to discuss organizational preparedness and election strategy. The AAP leadership maintains that these promises are central to their vision for the state's governance, focusing on providing a distinct political choice for the electorate in the next assembly election cycle.
