AAP Promises Free Water, Electricity, and Healthcare in Mumbai Manifesto

Mumbai, December 30, 2025 – The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today unveiled its manifesto for the 2026 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, promising sweeping changes to Mumbai’s civic services under the banner of “Kejriwal chi Guarantee.” The party aims to challenge the status quo in the upcoming January 15th elections.

At a press conference held at the Mumbai Press Club, AAP leaders Atishi, Preeti Sharma Menon, and Ruben Mascarenhas laid out a vision for Mumbai mirroring the party’s governance model in Delhi and Punjab. Key pledges include free and round-the-clock water supply (up to 20,000 litres per household per month), free electricity up to 200 units, and a complete overhaul of the education system with modern infrastructure and free bus passes for students.

Former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi criticized the current BMC, alleging widespread corruption and failure to deliver basic services despite a substantial budget. “Despite a civic budget of over ₹75,000 crore, the BMC has failed to deliver basic services and has been marred by corruption,” she stated.

Healthcare is another central pillar of the AAP’s manifesto. The party plans to establish 1,000 “Mohalla Clinics” across Mumbai, offering free consultations, medicines, and diagnostic tests.

“We are contesting these elections on the plank of ‘kaam ki rajneeti’ (politics of work),” said AAP Mumbai President Preeti Sharma Menon, emphasizing the party’s focus on delivering tangible improvements to the lives of Mumbaikars.

In addition to these core promises, the manifesto also includes plans to revitalize the BEST bus service with electric vehicles, eliminate potholes on Mumbai’s roads, strengthen waste management and sanitation, enhance women’s safety and welfare, protect the environment, and ensure transparent and digitized civic governance.

The AAP has fielded 75 candidates for the 227-member Mumbai civic body. The party hopes its focus on basic services and promises of a corruption-free administration will resonate with voters in the upcoming elections.
