New Delhi, January 21, 2025 — The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by unveiling a blank book titled “Bhajpa Ki Uplabdhiyan” (BJP’s Achievements), mocking the ruling party for failing to meet its key promises.
Sanjay Singh, a senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP, addressed the media at a press conference, criticizing the BJP for repeatedly making promises during elections, only to fall short once in power. Singh pointed out that the BJP, after coming to power in 2014, promised a slew of measures that remain unfulfilled.
Promises Left Unfulfilled
“The BJP has ruled for many years, starting with the RSS in 1925, followed by Jansangh in 1952, and the formation of the BJP in 1980. During this time, they have made several promises to the people of India, but have failed to deliver,” Singh said. He listed several key pledges made by the BJP, including:
- Transferring Rs 15 lakh to each citizen’s bank account
- Creating 2 crore jobs annually
- Providing pucca houses for all slum dwellers
- Selling petrol at Rs 50 per litre
- Strengthening the rupee against the dollar
Despite these promises, Singh asserted that the BJP has done little to fulfill them.
The Blank Book as a Symbol
AAP’s blank book serves as a stark visual metaphor, with the empty pages symbolizing the absence of the BJP’s achievements. The book’s content, or lack thereof, was used by Singh as a sly critique of the BJP’s unfulfilled commitments.
“While Prime Minister Narendra Modi made numerous promises to the people of Delhi, the BJP has never shared any real progress on fulfilling those promises. Today, AAP is presenting a complete and honest account of our own achievements to the nation,” Singh added.
The book also highlights promises specifically related to Delhi, such as:
- Regularizing unauthorised colonies in the city
- Doubling farmers’ incomes
- Reducing the prices of petrol, diesel, and cooking gas cylinders
AAP claims that these promises made by PM Modi’s government have yet to be fulfilled.
Sarcastic Call for Support
Adding a layer of irony, the book sarcastically suggests that to “strengthen the nation” and support PM Modi, citizens should continue paying taxes without hesitation. This comment underlines AAP’s criticism of the BJP’s handling of national financial policies and its perceived lack of action on critical issues.
AAP’s Strong Criticism of BJP Leadership
In a formal statement, AAP emphasized that the blank book was an effort to sharply criticize the BJP and expose the false promises made by the party’s leaders, especially PM Modi.
“This book exposes the unkept promises made by BJP leaders, which were never fulfilled. It is a stark reminder of the misleading claims made to the people of India,” the statement read.
Sisodia’s Remarks on Social Media
Manish Sisodia, another prominent AAP leader, took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on the book launch, stating: “It was crucial to present this book to the country, based on the achievements of the Bharatiya Jhootha Party. The public must see the magnitude of the lies the BJP has fed to the nation.”
Conclusion
Through this bold move, AAP has delivered a sharp political statement aimed at questioning the BJP’s track record and unfulfilled promises, particularly in the run-up to the Delhi elections. With the release of the blank book, AAP is making a pointed critique of the BJP’s leadership and its failure to deliver on the major commitments it made to the people of India.
