The party is hoping to ride on the Delhi model of governance which includes waiving off water bills, reducing electricity bills, mohalla clinics and other SOPs.
“The people of Delhi gave the AAP a chance and the party gave them a clean city, mohalla clinics and the best education system. Even the Punjab government is working on the Delhi model,” Singh said.

AAP Attacks BJP For Misusing Probe Agencies Against Opposition
Alleging that central agencies are being misused to target opposition leaders, Singh said, “I want to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi that every day he is targeting opposition leaders. In Bengal, the CBI has lodged 30 cases against the TMC; against Congress, they have lodged 26 cases; in Bihar, 10 cases have been lodged against the opposition; the BSP has five cases, the Samajwadi Party has four cases against them, the NCP has three cases; in Kashmir, the National Conference has three cases. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, the government is targeting every opposition party and its leaders. Modi should order to kill all the opposition leaders in an encounter and then he can sleep peacefully.”
