Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who also heads the Aam Aadmi Party or AAP, made the promises today during a visit to Uttarakhand. Mr Kejriwal's visit to Uttarakhand is in line with his party' stated goal of becoming a national power in the long run, for which the party - whose roots are firmly planted in Delhi - would need to fight election in every state whenever possible.

Mr Kejriwal promised a monthly allowance of Rs 5,000 to an unemployed person from every family till he or she gets a job. He said the AAP government will create at least one lakh jobs.

"Unlike others, we do what we say. We are going to keep all our promises. If we say we will give free power to farmers 24x7 or give 300 units of power for free, we mean it. We have done it in Delhi, and we will do it here," Mr Kejriwal said.
