3- Employment for Youth
Another aspect he underlined is employment for the country’s youth. He said that the youth power is the biggest strength of the country, but today they are roaming for employment. So arranging employment for each and every youth is also one of the important objectives.
4- Equal Rights to Women
The development of the country depends on how it treats its women and it is the reason why equal rights and respect should be a priority of every government. Kejriwal also included this aspect in his speech and said that every woman should get respect, the right to safety and equality.
